Why does MATLAB return a "not enough input arguments" error when I try to launch visdiff with proper number of arguments from windows command prompt?

Hopefully this is an easy question. Below is the exact command that I have typed into my windows command line, assume models I want to compare are model1 and model2.

C:/"Program Files/MATLAB/R2019a/bin/"matlab.exe -r visdiff('model1','model2')

MATLAB launches properly, however I get this:

Typing the visdiff command directly into MATLAB works without issue.

Going into the visdiff.m line referenced, I see this is an argument check (narginchk(2, 3)) which apparently checks to ensure there are either two or three arguments.

What am I missing?

Wrap the command in double quotes.

matlab -r "disp('hello world')"

Compare with the result you get from:

matlab -r disp('hellow world')

Yes, this works. Thank you!
