Command for closing a terminal window from Matlab?

I have a small Matlab script that calls GAMS. GAMS is run in a separate terminal window and when GAMS has finished the optimisation, the terminal window stays open and the Matlab script continues. This is looped a number of times (sometimes several hundreds) which causes a great number of terminal windows that need to be manually closed. There should be a command that I can put in the Matlab script to send the 'exit' command to the terminal window after GAMS has finished running, but I can't find it.

Would appreciate some help!

Best regards, Elisabeth

You will need to show us how you start up GAMS, and you will need to indicate which operating system you are running.

I'm running Windows 7 (enterprise) 64-bit. I'm calling GAMS using the line:

!"C:/GAMS/win64/23.8/gams" model_name.gms &

How about not opening another window for it:

system('"C:/GAMS/win64/23.8/gams" model_name.gms');

I keep getting syntax errors, I've tried a few different options but I'll keep trying! Thanks for the help anyway

Hi again,

No I can't get that to work. Is there a way to send an 'exit' command to the terminal windown instead?
