Question

I have matlab file matlab_param.m

function matlab_param(param1, param2)

disp(sprintf('param1 : %s', param1));
disp(sprintf('param2 : %s', param2));

And I want to have bash script bash_param.sh that look like

#!/bin/bash
echo $1
echo $2
./matlab_param.m $1 $2

I want to run this bashscirpt

./bash_param.sh hello world

and it will print

hello
world
param1 : hello
param2 : world

I googled for hours and couldn’t find any exact solution for this. The closest one the I got so far is

matlab -nodesktop -nosplash -nodisplay -r "try, run ('./test_param.m'); end; quit"

which I need to hardcode all parameters.

Answer 1

Did you try:

#!/bin/bash
echo $1
echo $2
matlab -nodesktop -nosplash -nodisplay -r "try, test_param('$1','$2'); end; quit"
