MATLAB 2008b Compatable alternative.

I'm using the following function to find the index of an array closest to the value passed. The function doesn't seem to be compatible with v.2008b. I need a function that does the same thing but is compatible. v.2008 is the only version that is compatible with HSPICE.

function[index]=closeindex(value,array)

[~,index]=min(abs(array-value));

end

The incomparable part is probably the ~ symbol. You can change that line to be:

[trash,index]=min(abs(array-value));

It was introduced in R2009b. http://blogs.mathworks.com/loren/2009/09/11/matlab-release-2009b-best-new-feature-or/
