You can put an exclamation point on the command line followed by the full path and name of your executable, or if you want to do it in a script of function, you can use the system() command. For example:

% Now run the Calibration Chart editor program.
% First construct the command line for the system() function.
% Enclose all filenames in double quotes because we may have spaces in the filenames.
arguments = sprintf('-chartfile "%s" -chartimage "%s"', fullRefChartDataFileName, bgCorrectedImageFileName);
commandLine = sprintf('"%s" %s', editorFullFileName, arguments);
fprintf('\n%s\n', commandLine);

%----------------------------------------------------------
% Now launch the Calibration Chart editor program using the "system()" function.
%msgboxw(commandLine);
system(commandLine);
