Just wondering if Matlab has the function to format script, e.g., automatically add a space after a comma, or add spaces before and after an "=" when I press semicolon at the end of a statement, or select a block of script to be formatted and press some button. Thanks.

No, MATLAB does not have that. Fortunately, David Varga recently mentioned releasing a beautifier; see https://github.com/davidvarga/MBeautifier

Select your code, then right click with your mouse, you will see all possibilities you have. For example (ctrl+i) which is smart indent

Type
control-a, to select all text in your editor window, then
control-i, to fix (properly align) the indenting of your lines of code.

Here's a MATLAB snippet that depends on the undocumented tree2str and mtree, but produces a reasonable result:
tree2str(mtree(FILENAME, '-file', '-comments'))
