Running scripts from command line

I'm trying to use matlab script as one of the build steps in my program. I'm doing it like this:
matlab.exe -r "cd c:\outdir, run ('c:\outdir\my.m'), quit"
It works just fine, but if the script fails on some reason, matlab doesn't close with error code. It just hangs waiting for input, showing me the line when error happens. This blocks my build, because it waits for matlab to close.
Is there any way to quit after script failed? Or may be there's another way to run the script, so that it returns back to command line in any case?

if you don't need error information, you could just enclose your call to run() in a try/end, such as:
matlab.exe -r "cd c:\outdir; try, run ('c:\outdir\my.m'); end; quit"

Great! It works.
What if you want to pass arguments?
I need the error information.
It seems the try/catch solution above discards any errors that occur.
Is there a way for matlab to exit and also obtain any errors/warning info from the command line?
could you elaborate on what the "end" is for? i tried running it without the "try" (catches errors ) and the "quit"( which closes matlab) but i obtain an error:
Error: Illegal use of reserved keyword "end".
Thanks
Hi @Tommasso,
the "end" is for the "try" block. If you are going to remove "try" keyword, you'll also have to remove "end"
