how to pass arguments to matlab executables

i have a exe name a1.exe

now i need to run this exe using a batch file(.bat file)

i need to pass some input arguments to this exe a1.exe

how can i do this

[shaz]

i would like to pass the input arguments to matlab exe from batch file(.bat file).

Eg: how to write the input in batch file 'name.csv' now the 'name.csv' is read in matlab exe

next time i want change input argument in batch file from which matlab reads

You can do it via the command line. Just use varargin as your input argument list. Then you might use deal() to parse it out into strings, or just use code like

userArg1 = varargin{1};
userArg2 = varargin{2};

and so on.

And note that all arguments will be received as strings. e.g.,

yourexecutable.exe hello 17

would receive the arguments 'hello' and '17' . If you need to interpret one of the strings as a number, then str2double() it.

This solution does not explain enough could you show how you make the executable be able to take in the parameter. I am struggling with doing this for Simulink

[Walter Roberson]

You would write your entry point function in the form of

function NameForYourExecutable(varargin)

then nargin will tell you how many values you received on the command line, and varargin{1}, varargin{2} and so on refer to the individual character vectors that are received.

Each one will be a character vector; none of the varargin entries will be numeric. You would use str2double() to convert entries to numeric.

A graphical interface to build executables is described at https://www.mathworks.com/help/compiler/applicationcompiler-app.html or you can use the command line mcc

These assume that your entry point is MATLAB code. Simulink has different tools. I have not used Simulink Coder and I have not seen any information about the executable entry point for it.

cosinder a function "FileName" that moves all folder content from one folder to other folder.. after creating executable..we can run the command from command prompt as

FileName.exe "C:\SrcDir" "D:\DestDri"

Yep, my answer will handle that possibility.
