MATLAB: How to programmatically call “exampleMo​del(…,’c​ompile’)” using a variable for the model name

Question

How can I programmatically call "exampleModel([],[],[],'compile')" using a variable for my model name?

Answer 1

This is possible by doing the following:

1) Store the model name to a variable:

>> myModelVar = 'exampleModel';

2) Call the model function using the "eval" command as follows:

>> eval([myModelVar, '([], [], [], ''compile'');']);

This same method can be applied to a cell array of model names as well, if there are multiple models to compile.
