connect to Bloomberg automatically

Everytime i start matlab i have to connect to bloomberg with "javaaddpath('C:\blp\API\blpapi3.jar')" .

Now my question is, how can i save such a process in order to not type it in like that everytime i wish to connect with bloomberg. thanks in advance

You can try to add the javaaddpath command to the MATLAB startup file (see http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/startup.html for details). On my Mac, this file is located at /Applications/MATLAB_R2014a.app/toolbox/local/startup.m.

Hello Geoff,

I've seen that you use Bloomberg and Matlab on a Mac. Can you talk about your experience on that? Do you use Bloomberg Excell Add-in on a Mac? Does it work properly? I'm interested in buying a Mac and it seems that no one can get me a satisfactory answer on this matter. Sorry for the Off-topic

Hi Edgar - I've actually never used Bloomberg on a Mac so I can't comment on how well it works. Sorry!
