Matlab: Running an m-file from command-line

Question

Suppose that;

I have an m-file at location:
C:\M1\M2\M3\mfile.m

And exe file of the matlab is at this location:
C:\E1\E2\E3\matlab.exe

I want to run this m-file with Matlab, from command-line, for example inside a .bat file. How can I do this, is there a way to do it?

Answer 1

On Linux you can do the same and you can actually send back to the shell a custom error code, like the following:

#!/bin/bash
matlab -nodisplay -nojvm -nosplash -nodesktop -r \ 
      "try, run('/foo/bar/my_script.m'), catch, exit(1), end, exit(0);"
echo "matlab exit code: $?"

it prints matlab exit code: 1 if the script throws an exception, matlab exit code: 0 otherwise.
