MATLAB: How to execute a called

I am calling an m file from a vb script (visual basic script) this works, i can open the file, but it doesn't run (probably because it isn't a exe file) So now my question is, how can I automatically have it running when i call it from my script. I am aware that it is possible to create an executable file with matlab, but i don't have the licenses necessary to do this Are there any other ways to do this?

the code from VBS:

_ Set wshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WSCript.shell")

wshshell.run "C:\Users\Gino\Documents\MATLAB\file.m"

set wshshell = Nothing_

If anyone could help, it would be much appreciated

Hi,

you have two alternatives:

1.) Use MATLAB Automation Server from VBS

2.) Start MATLAB.exe with -r flag to run that script (maybe you also need -sd to start in the directory where the m file is located)

MATLAB: Is there another example of invoking MATLAB as an automation server using VB.NET

Below is another example of calling GetFullMatrix from VB.NET. This is without adding a MATLAB reference in the VB.NET project:

 Dim MatLab As Object
 Dim Result As String
 Dim MReal(1, 3) As Double
 Dim MImag(1, 3) As Double
 Dim RealValue As Double
 MatLab = CreateObject("matlab.application")
 Result = MatLab.Execute("a = [1 2 3 4; 5 6 7 8;]")
 Call MatLab.GetFullMatrix("a", "base", MReal, MImag)

MATLAB: Run telnet with cmd in MATLAB command window

I think I figured out what is going on. The "telnet" client seems to set up some sort of terminal environment, which doesn't play well with the way that the MATLAB command window is working. If I try the following, nothing useful happens.

>> system('cmd')
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]

c:\Temp>telnet
telnet

If I get what you are trying to do, I believe you need to use the "plink" command, which is part of the PuTTY suite, which is freely available (google "download putty"). When I use that, I get a usable prompt:

>> system('cmd')
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600] 
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved. 
c:\Temp>"c:\program files (x86)\putty\plink.exe" -telnet myunixhost
"c:\program files (x86)\putty\plink.exe" -telnet myunixhost
myunixhost login: <enter my login here>
Password: <enter password>
