Delimiter must be a string (textscan R2010b)

The following code works on R2013a

str = textscan('is it a version issue, or it is not.','%s','Delimiter',{' ',',','.'});

but it does not on R2010b, where I receive the following error:

Delimiter must be a string.

Any solution to this? Can you confirm it is a version issue?

What about:

str = textscan('is it a version issue, or it is not.', '%s', 'Delimiter', ' ,.');

Yes, this works, Thanks. I wonder why the same code does not work on different MATLAB versions.

When something works on a newer version but not an older, the first suspicion should be that a routine was enhanced between the two versions.
