Running via matlab command an .exe file and putting direct the input in cmd

Hello,

I have a question about a code. First of all, I would like to execute an .exe file via matlab command.

I am using the command

system('C:\Users\HP\Desktop\file.exe &') in order to run it.

After the execution of this file cmd window opens and I have to put the input file that needs in order to run this program.

My question is can I put the input file direct with a matlab command and as a result to run it without cmd window opens?

Thank you

How do you "put the input file"? By typing in a file name and hit return?

Excuse me but I don't understand.. Can you explain it?

In Cmd window, after the .exe is started, did you type in like "c:\MyDocu\inputdata.txt" and hit return, or you have to navigate the hard drive and pick and choose?

I have to type the file (eg file.txt) after the .exe started

Create a text file called "InputString.txt". Inside it, type in your input file name, in your exampe, file.txt

Test it in Cmd window first, run this "file.exe < InputString.txt"

Do the same in MATLAB using system()
