How to hide web browser while using web function

Hi,

I download real-time data through the web from an excel file each 5 seconds (by web function)

Is it possible to suppress the opening of the HTML page ?

Thanks

Dudi

Which function are you using to download the data? You can use websave(): https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2020b/matlab/ref/websave.html, which downloads the data without opening any browser window.

Thanks you for your answer.

I used in web function.

I tried to use it, but I'm not sure it's good in my case.

I need to download an excel file from an HTML page.

If you think it is possible I would like for an example .

Thanks !

In general, I need just syntax to hide it :

system(strcat('cmd.exe /c rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler "', html_file, '" '));

OR

dos(strcat('cmd.exe /c rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler "', html_file, '" '));

(html_file = Direct link to Excel fileׁ)

It's an internal code line of web function
