Export consol output to workspace

I have a console application (linux) that prints some hexadecimal values and quits. I want to import the output of the application to workspace and plot versus time. How can I do this ?

It matters for this purpose that you want to be able to do this repeatedly, as you described in your near-duplicate of this question, http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/23533-embeding-c-code-to-matlab

Thank you for this productive reply and brilliant solution.

system() is an appropriate solution for the question as phrased here, but is not appropriate for what you are trying to do in the larger context.

system('myapp') returns what I want. I can make a for loop for system('myapp') but have no idea where to start plotting versus time.

In your other posting, you asked for advice, but here you are sarcastic towards those who offer you advice. Your response is not one that would tend to incline volunteers to spend time offering you the benefit of their experience.

The system command can catch the output of an external program as string, when both output arguments are caught.

Any way to import the console output to workspace ?

What exactly does "import to workspace" mean? Can you post an example?
