MATLAB: Is there a way to use the system () call using ‘&’ while still be able to suppress the DOS cmd window

MATLABsystem

Hi folks. I need to make system calls to a routine from inside Matlab, and have control return after the routine starts rather than returning after the routine completes. Using the trailing ampersand accomplished that, but I also do not want those little DOS cmd windows to appear. Any way for that to happen? Thanks!

See this thread: CLICK HERE.

Otherwise the only way might be to replicate all the functions that the system does in your MATLAB code.

MATLAB: Windows executable works in cmd but not using Matlab system() oder dos() functions

Alright, I finally found some time to work on this problem again. I tried the dependency walker and indeed got some missing libraries, but according to a google search that is apparently a problem within the dependency walker tool itself.

I decided to try something I had not tested before: Instead of running the exe itself, I created a shortcut to it (named FCEA.lnk) and executed this shortcut using

start "FCEA" /b /wait FCEA.lnk

as the command to Windows from MATLAB. /b tells it to not open a new command window, /wait to only return once the process is done (otherwise MATLAB will continue without waiting for CEA to finish). While this seems like a pretty ugly hack, it works very well so far. I would be very glad if someone could tell me why though :)

Anyways, thanks for the comments!
