How to execute a called

I am calling an m file from a vb script (visual basic script) this works, i can open the file, but it doesn't run (probably because it isn't a exe file) So now my question is, how can I automatically have it running when i call it from my script. I am aware that it is possible to create an executable file with matlab, but i don't have the licenses necessary to do this Are there any other ways to do this?

the code from VBS:

_ Set wshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WSCript.shell")

wshshell.run "C:\Users\Gino\Documents\MATLAB\file.m"

set wshshell = Nothing_

If anyone could help, it would be much appreciated

Hi,

you have two alternatives:

1.) Use MATLAB Automation Server from VBS

http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/call-matlab-com-automation-server.html

2.) Start MATLAB.exe with -r flag to run that script (maybe you also need -sd to start in the directory where the m file is located)

Hi thank you for your answer It has already helped, however i can still only seem to open the m file (without running) or open the command window

Set MatLab = CreateObject("Matlab.Application") MatLab.Execute"C:\Users\Gino\Documents\MATLAB\test.m" Set Matlab = nothing (this program only opens the command window)

The problem is that i can't find any examples to base my solution on Would it be possible if someone could give me or has an example of the full syntax of 1 of the 2 solutions given above

Hi, sorry for the delay:

Set MatLab = CreateObject("Matlab.Application") 
MatLab.Execute("cd('C:\Users\Gino\Documents\MATLAB')")
Matlab.Execute("test")

Hope that helps.

Thank you sir, this works perfectly
