Thread Subject:

pass parameters to exe

Hello this question is an extention to the question posted
here
http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/newsreader/view_thre
ad/166117.

I need to know if it is possible that in and compiled
application an *.exe waits for and accepts parameters from
the command prompt and updates the following parameters
into the gui?

Example:
Suppose I make an compiled application called name.exe and
its a GUI with only one text box where the name of the
person which will be sent as the parameter will be
displayed.
ex:
name vihang
Now the gui screen pops up and I see vihang displayed
there.

Now I want the "same gui" to display makarand when I enter
name makarand

It is very essential that only one gui is opened and that
only keeps on updating the names and through command line
interface only and not through gui interface like
pushbutton and edit box etc..

Thanks and Regards
Vihang

I think you can use the input() function to read data from
the command line in a compiled matlab program (but I'm not certain.)
