Hi, I am trying open a datafile(structural) with my test.exe file, which has been compiled by matlab. Each time I start the test.exe file, it takes 1-5 minutes. So, I am trying to upload the datafile.xyz and run a function, without re-opening test.exe.

So, my test.exe has a function

function read_data()

I want to double click datafile.xyz to run the function read_data() in test.exe, and read the structural data from datafile.xyz, and do further process. I don’t know where to start. Does matlab have some functions for this, or is it possible through powershell script?

Making sure your GUI behaves as a singleton is surprisingly hard. You could circumvent it by using uigetfile.

Is it possible to use “open with” for a data file and it send its location address to any.mlapp file and it reads the data without relaunching the app. It works with m files.

Hi Mubin,

To open ".xyz" files with your "test.exe" MATLAB compiled application and automatically run a function, follow these steps:

Modify your MATLAB function to accept the file path as an input argument.
Recompile your MATLAB application to accept command-line arguments.
Optionally, create a wrapper script (batch or PowerShell) to call `test.exe` with the file path.
Associate the ".xyz" file extension with "test.exe" or your wrapper script using Windows file associations.
Double-click a ".xyz" file to test if it opens with "test.exe" and correctly passes the file path to your function.

Hope this helps.
