MATLAB Central Newsreader - Read an .exe file into a gui

Read an .exe file into a gui

Sprinceana — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 08:00:17 -0400

I have a video signal which is an .exe file called signal.exe.

I want to read it using a dedicated function of matlab.

So my question is : How can I read an .exe file into matlab gui (so what dedicated function to use)?

I don't want to use mmreader, mpgwrite, mpgread etc.

Is there a function to read .exe files in matlab?

If not what I must do to my .exe file to be read in the gui of matlab?

Thanks for your support in advance!

No. The latin abbreviation "etc." means "and so on and so forth". When you exclude
all of those functions "etc." without listing anything that you -are- willing to use,
you are excluding everything that exists in Matlab. Matlab is not able to operate
upon the mere -idea- that you want to do something.

There is, by the way, no function provided with Matlab that knows the structure
of Microsoft .exe files and is able to locate specific subsections or symbols
in them. However, depending -exactly- how the .exe was constructed, you might
be able to make productive use of loadlibrary and related functions, possibly
in conjunction with mmap().
