Yes, it is possible to run a DOS program from MATLAB on both Leopard and Windows XP. However, the steps may differ depending on the specific operating system and version of MATLAB you are using.
To run a DOS program from MATLAB on Leopard, you will need to use the "system" command. This command allows you to execute a DOS command or program from within MATLAB. You can also use the "dos" command for older versions of MATLAB.
The process for running a DOS program from MATLAB on Windows XP is very similar to the process for Leopard. You will also need to use the "system" command, and the steps will be almost identical to those for Leopard. However, you may need to specify the path to the DOS program on Windows XP.
There are a few limitations to running a DOS program from MATLAB. First, the DOS program must be compatible with your operating system. Additionally, the DOS program may not be able to access some features or functions of MATLAB, such as plotting or GUI interfaces. Lastly, the performance of the DOS program may be affected by running it through MATLAB.
Yes, you can pass input arguments to the DOS program when running it from MATLAB. You can use the "system" or "dos" command to specify the arguments to be passed. These arguments will be passed as strings, so you may need to convert them to the appropriate data type within the DOS program.
