use exe file from matlab
显示 更早的评论
Hello,
i have an exe file (called file.exe), i would like to open it from MATLAB, and insert the commands i wish to execute, i have them in a txt file (called insert.txt).
i was reading on the system command but i can't seem to understnad how to use it corectlly. i tried servel ways but i always get an error
is there any one that know how to adress this? the exe and the txt file both in the same folder as the matlab script, and i'm reading them both using matlab command, not by hand. i also tried it mannualy and it didn't work.
Thnak you !

The system function allows you to call the command line of the OS. That means you need to find a way to run your function with the windows command prompt. Then you can use that syntax in Matlab.

Ignoring Matlab for a moment, what is file.exe and how is it invoked and used? If you can open up a console and use file.exe from the command line, then you can use system() to do the same. If it can't be invoked from the console, how do you run it? Is the problem that it requires user interaction after being launched? Does it have a GUI? What OS?

How do you run that program normally with the txt file? Do you just double-click?

You need to be able to run it through the command line. If you can't, Matlab is no use to you.
You can open up the command line prompt by holding the Windows key and hitting R. Then you can type cmd and hit enter. If you can find a way to run your mysterious program from that interface, you will be able to use it in Matlab.
You can try a Google search to see if there is a command line interface available for your program.

Having a CLI would be ideal, but even if it's a GUI, I imagine there are still roundabout ways to automate simple keyboard and mouse inputs, but the main point is that you'd need to use tools other than Matlab to do it. For example, if you can write a shell script to open the app and feed it text, then you can call that script from Matlab via system().
Doing that in windows isn't something I would know how to do.
