How to efficiently pass input arguments to a compiled app?

I have created an app in AppDesigner. This app requires some input arguments, essentially some file names and quite a few parameters that I currently store in a struct.

When the app is still an .mlapp it is easy to pass input arguments using the "App Input Arguments" option and these can be any type of Matlab array. However, I want to compile the app into a standalone .exe and then call it using the 'system' command.

I don't have experience building programs outside Matlab, so I am not really sure how to get the input arguments to work after compiling, especially when there are many of them. I could save the parameters in a text file and give my .exe the filename of this as an input, then it could load all the parameters from there? Is there a better technique to this? Does anyone have some tips?
