Is there a way to call MATLAB from a Linux command line that would use a command line data file as input?

I'd like to automate a process by calling MATLAB from the Linux command line in such a way that the name of the input datafile is on the command line and I can eliminate the gui to locate the input file from my M-code.

Simplistically, I'm looking for a command that would look something like this: matlab my-m-code.m my-input-data-file.csv

Try

./matlab -r "yourScript" and things should work as you expected !

Some examples method 1: ./matlab -nodesktop -nosplash -r disp('sreeram') method 2: ./matlab -automation -r disp('sreeram')

hope this helps

Thank you for your suggestions, but how do they show the use of a csv file to be parsed and used as input for statistical processing within MATLAB?

You are nearly there:

matlab -r myMatlabFunction('myinputdatafile.csv');quit

You only need to make sure that MATLAB "finds" myMatlabFunction.m either on the path, or by something like

matlab -r cd('/home/kathleen/myfolder');myMatlabFunction('myinputdatafile.csv');quit
