MATLAB Application Program Interface Reference

Execute a MATLAB command in the workspace of the caller

integer*4 function mexEvalString(command)
character*(*) command

Arguments

command

A character array containing the MATLAB command to execute.

Returns

0 if successful, and a nonzero value if unsuccessful.

Description

Call mexEvalString to invoke a MATLAB command in the workspace of the caller.

mexEvalString and mexCallMATLAB both execute MATLAB commands. However, mexCallMATLAB provides a mechanism for returning results (left-hand side arguments) back to the MEX-file; mexEvalString provides no way for return values to be passed back to the MEX-file.

All arguments that appear to the right of an equals sign in the command array must already be current variables of the caller's workspace.
