+1 Nice cheat! I cannot really figure this one out. Seems like regexprep has access to a variable outside of its current workspace? (I am not on my computer right now, is this cody-specific or does this replicate in other settings?)

Alfonso Nieto-Castanon on 4 Jul 2015

a small follow-up: I replicated this behavior (both in R2008b and R2015a) and regexprep dynamic ${ } operator seem to have access to *both* variables in the currently active workspace as well as in its parent workspace... never would have guessed that, thanks LY!

haha,??@cmd also has access to variables in the current as well as its parent,but ?@cmd doesn't.
