Running an .EXE file with an Input file with a command via matlab

Hello,

I have a code problem. The purpose is to run an .exe file via command.

I have find the command which is system('file.exe &').

But this file needs an input file ( a .txt file (the name of this file is ab.txt) in cmd file) in order to run.

I have tried these commands but it is no works :

status = system(sprintf('file.exe "%s"',ab.txt));

Could anyone help me?

Try to do it using CMD, if you are able to do it in there just put what you've written in system()

[pasquale maris]

to run the system command you need to create a unique string with a space bewteen exe and arguments:

A=('C:\Users\*\Documents\...exefilename.exe');

B=('C:\Users\*\Documents\path or agument');

Status = system([A ' ' B]);

sprintf might be overkill here. Maybe just:

status = system('file.exe ab.txt')

If file.exe is not on the Windows path, you might need to include the information about where it is, e.g.

status = system('C:\Software\Bin\file.exe ab.txt')
