MATLAB: How to run exe with argumants using matlab

argumentsrun exe

Hello. I have a matlab-based exe that I need to call using matlab. I understand system(myexe.exe) will run it. However, I need the exact syntax for calling the exe with parameters such as: parName1 str1 parName2 val2

Would it be system('myexe.exe' 'parName1' 'str1' 'parName2' 'val2') for example….i.e. comas, quotation marks, oxford commas spaces etc etc…would integer values, such as val2 need ' or not etc? If anyone would let me know the exact syntax that would be great!

Thank you

system('myexe.exe parName1 str1 parName2 val2')

so pretty much the same command that you run it in command prompt or shell, just put a system around it.

You can do it via the command line. Just use varargin as your input argument list. Then you might use deal() to parse it out into strings, or just use code like

userArg1 = varargin{1};
userArg2 = varargin{2};

and so on.

MATLAB: How to execute Powershell scripts in MATLAB 7.9 (R2009b)

The Powershell application calls ReadLine() on a redirected STDIN after executing a script. Since MATLAB redirects STDIN, you need to press Enter to continue.

There is a workaround to let the Powershell application return immediately. You can pass the following input argument:

-inputformat none

 For example:
!powershell -inputformat none 2*10; echo 'This is a line'
