How do I run a MATLAB script or function in batch mode in Windows?

Best Answer

You can use the following command to run a MATLAB script in batch mode from the Windows Command Prompt:

matlab -nosplash -noFigureWindows -r "try; run('C:\Path\To\YourScriptName.m'); catch; end; quit"

To be safe, "YourScriptName.m" should have instructions to cd() to the directory it is to work in. The command "run" cannot be used with functions but only with scripts. For functions please use the following syntax:

matlab -nosplash -noFigureWindows -r "try; cd('C:\Path\To\'); YourFunctionName(); catch; end; quit"

The above commands could be put into a BAT file and invoked from any directory.

MATLAB: Getting the error “Unable to resolve the name filename.m” while trying to run a script

This error occurs when the script 'filename.m' is run at Command Prompt, as the dot is interpreted as an operator. So MATLAB searches for a struct with the name 'filename' and a field 'm', instead of 'filename' script file.

To fix this, you need to call the script without the extension (as follows):

>>filename

MATLAB: Batch inside a Batch

It seems like you are not allowed to change the pool size on the cluster. You can see the effect of the number of cores by changing the allocated workers in a parallel for loop like this

parfor(i=1:100,W)

and then you change W to the number of workers (cores/threads) you want to test
