How to let Matlab execute bat file at the bat file directory.

Hi,

I have two bat files I want to run simultaneously through a matlab script,which also generate some output files.

I use command line as below:

 dos('C:\sim\folder1\run.bat &') 
 dos('C:\sim\folder2\run.bat &')

However, when I run the matlab script using the code above, both the bat files are run in 'C:\sim' because my matlab script is saved in 'C:\sim'. How do I execute the bat files in different directory with my matlab script?

I have found a solution. Create a function with

 dos('C:\sim\folder1\run.bat &')

as code in at same folder with the bat file ans use command run in the main matlab script.
