How to Execute a Powershell (*.ps1) script from matlab

Does anyone know how to run a ps1 script from matlab and also pass variable created from my matlab code into the powershell script?

MATLAB R2013b Powershell for Windows 7

My powershell script: uart.ps1 creates a message in bytes opens COM4 (this is my usb-uart port connected to my FPGA) sends data to the usb-uart tries to read from the usb-uart writes the data read from the usb-uart to a file on my PC

My Matlab code: data_extractor.m takes in a binary file extracts the bytes performs some calculations format the bytes into 10 separate packets or messages call powershell to send these packets to the usb-uart to the FPGA

Maybe it is a bit too late (just found this as am trying to pass parameters to ps1 myself). To run a ps1 script from Matlab use the following command:

!powershell -inputformat none -file myfile.ps1

[Walter Roberson]

Equivalently,

system('powershell -inputformat none -file myfile.ps1')
