what is the alternative of cd in .executable app ?

Hi,

I am converting mdf into mat, for the same I have created executable app. while executing following commands, the currently dictionary should be the folder having .mdf files . If I do that by puting cd command then it gives error while running the executable app.

What can be solution?

doscmd = ['"' converterfile '" -C:' convtype '.dll -IF:"' inifile '" "' files{f} '" ' tempconvfilename];

[status, result] = dos(doscmd);

Did you try the Matlab cd, or the system cd? You should be able to add it to your system call.

Hi @Rik

Thanks for teh response

How to do that ? ( adding it to system call)

Its matlab cd now , currently it looks like below

cd(pathTargetFiles);

All files are there under 'pathTargetFiles' which I am converting by using this app.

You can use && to execute another command if the first one completes successfully:

doscmd = [...
    'cd /d "' pathTargetFiles '" && ' ...
    '"' converterfile '" -C:' convtype '.dll -IF:"' inifile '" "' files{f} '" ' tempconvfilename];
[status, result] = dos(doscmd);

The /d switch allows switching between partitions as well (in case either pathTargetFiles or your system happen to be on something other than C).
