How to run a MATLAB file without opening the MATLAB GUI?

Hello,

I am trying to test a batch file that runs matlab with an input file

the batch file is one line:

"C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2024b\bin\matlab.exe" -noFigureWindows -minimize -nosplash -r "c:\tmp\test\test_matlab_no_GUI_batch.m"

the MATLAB file is:

a=6;
b=7;
c=a+b;
dlmwrite('c:\tmp\test\HFSS_Batch\test_matlab_no_gui.txt',c)

I would expect to see the "test_matlab_no_gui.txt" file in "c:\tmp\test\" folder.

I am not. what am I missing?

Thank you

You need to wrap your script in a run command. I also suggest using the newer, -batch switch

"C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2024b\bin\matlab.exe" -batch "run('C:\Users\walki\battest.m')"

Alternatively, add your directory to the MATLAB path before running the script. Like this

"C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2024b\bin\matlab.exe" -batch "addpath('C:\Users\walki\');battest"
