I want to call a bash shell script glider_merge.sh from glider_boat_check.m. I need to pass arguments such as location, unit, and year. Do I have to define these in the shell script or can I pass them through matlab?
The glider_merge.sh script merges science and flight data into a .dat file and .mat file. I want to just be able to open glider_boat_check.m, press run which executes glider_merge.sh and then glider_boat_check.m opens the .mat output file and does more diagnostics.
I am (brand) new to UNIX and haven't had much experience with matlab either. Any suggestions would help greatly.

Hi,
you can use the system function to call your shell script. Something like
location = 'Germany';
system(['yourshellscript.sh ' location]);
This way you pass location as parameter to the shell script.

And use num2str(year), if year is a number (double) and not a string ...

I was just working from this solution, and found that the final answer is slightly incorrect. The final double quote should come after the input argument list, i.e.:
str = ['C:\cygwin64\bin\bash --login -c "C:/cygwin64/home/bkirving/gliders/ProcArchive/glider_merge.sh ' location ' ' unit ' ' year '"'];
system(str)
