MATLAB: How to run an .exe in the background

Question

I have an application file that I can run with command system('app.exe')

However I will have to wait for the application to close before I can issue another MatLab command. Is there anyway that I can run this application in the background?

Thanks,

Feng

Try using "&" at the end.
