How to use the not sign on the mac version of matlab

Hi,

I am trying to use the syntax :

[~, vol_m] = garchinfer(coeff_m{e}, y_te);

in other words, I would like to use the sign ~ not to have to specify a value for the first output of a function when I am only interested in the second one. It seems to work on a pc but not on a mac. What is the appropriate syntax to use on a mac ?

Thanks,

Sam

The feature you're referring is only available from R2009b onwards: http://www.mathworks.co.uk/help/techdoc/rn/br5fo8o-1.html#br65zmd-1

Check that the MATLAB on your MAC not older than R2009b.

You can replace the ~ with dummy, but see my answer about problems with doing a global search and replace.
