You can run jEPlus from a Windows command prompt with some predefined commands available in the jEPlus manual. Technically, you will be able to modify the input file, or import it from a csv file, and run the jEPlus commands all with command prompts. In order to control the software from MATLAB you use "system" function. What the system() function does is to get the command in MATLAB and run it in a command prompt. So simply just write the command in the "system" function of MATLAB. Then what happens is that jEPus would be run and it will save the results in the output folder in a csv file. You would be able to read the output csv results file with MATLAB's csvread() function.
