Hi there, I would like to launch a .bat file from matlab at the bat file direcetry

I am using the following commands:

system('.\VFPSolver\runvfph.bat &'); and it works, but point to the matlab directory. I would like to let Matlab execute bat file at the bat file directory. Any suggestions?

What is the "bat file directory"?

Maybe you mean.

cd('.\VFPSolver\');
system('runvfph.bat &');

Thanks, but when the bat file (inside there is an executable) finish running, it generates same files that I would like to copy on a Folder. But using the command inside the matlab script: copyfile *.force Outputs I got an error Error in run_solver (line 7) copyfile *.force Outputs because of course the excutable did not finish yet. How to say matlab to wait until the run is completed?
