I wish to run a matlab m file from my windows 7 scheduler.

I can run a matlab m file that takes no parameters using the line below

-r my_matlab_function,exit

If I had a matlab function that was expecting a simple text parameter is there a way to also schedule the function to run via the windows 7 scheduler?

  1. You can use this:

    matlab -r "functionName input1 input2"

    Note that the inputs are interpreted as text. This is called command syntax. For example, issuing this command from a DOS window

    matlab -r "find [2 3]"

    produces

    ans =
     1     2     3     4     5

    because [2 3] is interpreted as an array of five chars, all of which are non-zero.

  2. You may also use function syntax:

    matlab -r "find([2 3])"

    which produces

    ans =
     1     2

    as would be expected.

  • I can't get it to work. So in the windows scheduler in the add arguements text box I have the following... -r myfunction myparameter,exit This does not work though in matlab the message was not enough parameters supplied. I'm trying to provide a string as a parameter – mHelpMe Jul 10 '15 at 13:09
  • I tried putting speach marks round "myfunction myparameter" but then it doesn't even launch matlab – mHelpMe Jul 10 '15 at 13:17
