Execute script from command line to existing MATLAB instance

I know I can execute a script from my OS command line with matlab -r "my_file", eventually using -nodesktop to have the output printed in the same window. The problem is that this operation creates a new MATLAB instance to execute the script.

My question is: is it possible to have the script executed in an already open MATLAB instance?

"is it possible to have the script executed in an already open MATLAB instance?"

No.

In some cases needs related to this can be met by using the MATLAB API; see https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/programming-interfaces-for-external-languages.html

I get it. I'll see what i can do with the API, thanks!
