Hi,

I have written some code in R and for various reasons, I can't rewrite it in MATLAB easily. I was wondering if there is a way to call that R function from a MATLAB script, run it, and import the results of that function back into MATLAB.

Thanks

Hi Daniel,

There is a File Exchange function here that appears to have this functionality (calling an R-command, copying variables to MATLAB, etc). From looking at the comments, a few users have had some difficulty with the COM connection, so it is possible to use the "system" command as well, which lets you execute commands from the OS in MATLAB. For more information on that function, see its doc page here.

I hope this helps!

Why MATLAB never consider adding R to the External Language Interfaces? Isnt R popular enough?

Hi Daniel

Of course you can run R file in matlab and for this you can use !Rscript function. imagine that you have an R file named myfile.r, then you can run your file as following:

!Rscript myfile.r

just be careful that your R file is in your matlab path.

Hi! ... I was looking for that function but i didn't find it. Is not implemented anymore? In what version does it works?

If you are using Windows, then you could consider using System.Diagnostics.Process to create an instance of R that you could communicate with by standard input and standard output.

A couple of things if you are trying to run an R script using system(), that could be helpful to other fellow MATLABians out there.

You might need to add Rscript to your system's PATH environment variables. If you are on Windows, to do that, in your Windows search box type ‘Edit the system environment variables’ > click on the button ‘Environment Variables…’ > click on the line reading ‘Path’, and then on button ‘Edit’ > on the window that opens, press ‘New’ and type in the path of the Rscript.exe: ‘C:\Program Files\R\R-4.3.3\bin\x64’.
By default R will set your MATLAB’s pwd as the R’s working directory when calling the R script via MATLAB. If the R script you want to run is located elsewhere, simply type the full path. For example:

system('Rscript C:\Users\x\Documents\myscript.R')
