[Walter Roberson]

The code fragment

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX COMPLETE XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

is not valid MATLAB code. MATLAB does not automatically use multiplication between adjacent names or tokens. MATLAB only builds a list of items between space-separated tokens when the tokens are inside [] or {} -- but your code is assigning to a scalar element so you would not want a list built at that point anyhow.
