I know that I can use writeto() and appendto() to redirect Maple output to a file.  However, I have not been able to get this to work properly with tables or special characters.

Is there a way to change this?

I am an electrical engineer and have been using Matlab for years.  I am switching over to Maple and am converting my extensive library of Matlab scripts to Maple.  

Among other things, I plan on using Maple, as I have Matlab, to determine component values based on design criteria (e.g. input voltage range, output voltage range, etc.) and to analyze the resulting circuit uncertainties.

I have generally released the uncertainty results to my clients and like to use the appropriate mathematical symbols to convey the information.  

I would eventually like to generate a report for my client that shows the calculated component values and the resulting uncertainties (e.g. "R1 = 2.56kΩ ± 0.01%", "Total uncalibrated uncertainty (maximum) = ±(0.23452% of reading + 0.198°C)")

I see that outside of a code edit region, I can freely use the symbols from the "common symbols" palette to generate text as shown above.

Should I avoid trying to automate this (i.e. using printf() statements)?

Can I clear variables by a command instead of assigning them their quoted name?  For example, I know that I can clear M and B by:

M,B:='M','B'.

Is there a command like forget(M,B)?

I don't want all of ther variables cleared so I don't want to use restart.

Hi,

I would like to use greek letters and other special symbols in printf() statements in a code edit region.

Is there a way that I can do that? 

Hi,

I have a vector that I would like to display with added text annotations.  For example with the vector <1,2>, I would like output to the display:

first: 1

second: 2

Is there a simple way to do this?
