Engine Library - how can i print text in the Command-Window

Hy there,

I'm starting with the Engine-Libary-API and I'm very enthused about the amazing possibilities with Matlab-Engine Calling from an application.

But there is still a big question:

How can i print some Text to the Command Window (which appears, when i start the Engine-Session with "engOpen") ???

Best Regards,

Josef

engEvalString with the DISP command should do it for you:

   engEvalString(ep, "disp('Your text here.');");

Hey Kaustubha,

thanks for you Response!

I've tried engEvalString(ep, "disp('Your text here.');"); so far, but it doesn't work.

I think the "Your text here."-Output-String can only get cached with the "int engOutputBuffer(Engine *ep, char *p, int n);"-API-Function like any other Matlab-Output in Engine-API-Mode.

But it seems that it's not possible to push it to the Command-Window.

Any other ideas??? - I've tried nearly everything so far, but still nothing does work :(

Are you setting engSetVisible to true?

That may work for Windows but how to do the same in linux
