How do I parse input options from the a DOS command line?

Hi,

I have a M file function (see snippet below) that can take in several options. It works fine in MatLab. However, when I compile it a run it from a DOS command line, the options do not parse correctly. Questions:

First, what is the correct DOS commnad line input look like?

Example: imageComp " 'scale', .5 "

Second, if all command line arguments are passed in as strings, will the parser be able to differentiate between '.5' the string and .5 the float?

Thanks for the help,

Jerry

=============================================================

function imageComp(varargin)

inParser = inputParser; % Create an instance of the class.

inParser.addParamValue('scale', .5, @isfloat);

inParser.parse(varargin{:});

% Do other stuff......

end

What does "I compile it a run it from...." mean? Are you trying to compile an m-file from a DOS command line into a standalone executable, or are you running an already-compiled standalone executable from the DOS command line?

I meant to say that I compiled it and then ran the resulting exe in a DOS window.
