gunits 1.0

help gunits%Function to convert units using Google%SCd 09/01/2010%%gunits searches using the Google convention e.g: '3ft to in'%%Input Arguments:% -before: string with number and unit such as:% '3ft', '17c','17lbf/in^2', '3 ft*lbf'% -after: unit you wish to convert such as: (respectively)% 'mm', 'f', 'N/ft^2','Newton*m'%% NOTE1: Google can be picky with the input. It's recommended% to spell everything out and fill in multiplication/division/powers% if you're having issues. Example:%% >>gunits('3psi','psf')% ans = '3 psi' %if outNum was called; an error would've been produced%% >>gunits('3lbf/in^2','lbf/ft^2')% ans = 3 (lbf / (in^2)) = 432 lbf / (ft^2)%% NOTE2: The units should be distinguishable with spaces removed e.g:% 'lbf ft' becomes 'lbfft' which is not a unit. To fix use 'lbf*ft'%%Output Arguments:% -outStr: string with the conversion% -outNum: numeric value of answer (only if asked for)%%NOTE/DISCLAIMER:% The algorithm used for retrieving the string is based solely on Google's% web format. As (unfortunately!), I do not own or control Google, their% format is subject to change, which could nullify the results of this program.% Please let me know if this happens.
