How to pass a string variable to a mex function

Hello,

I have this command: mex -I/home/user_1/includes

I would like to pass a string variable to a mex function like this:

variable=user_1
mex -I/home/variable/includes

But the problem is that mex takes "variable" instead of the value of variable (user_1).

How can I do that?

Thanks a lot.

mex does have a function form as well as command form, but for some reason this doesn't appear to be documented in the help so I have also had difficulties understanding how to convert command form into function form for doing something like this. I assume it is possible.

e.g. without flags you can just do:

mex( 'myfile.cpp' )

so I assume you can pass some kind of property, value pairs to this too which would allow a dynamic string.

mex( 'myfile.cpp', '-g' )

works, for example, so maybe you can do the same for -I and pass your folder name as the following argument.

I don't really have a test case handy to try out myself.
