system() function is used to run executables from MATLAB .

Syntax :

system('"myexe.exe" arg0 arg1')

Please refer the following documentation for UNIX tips and Limitations :

hi Kawin, system didn't work. I received this error:

/bin/bash:hyd.exe commande introuvable

It is not on your PATH environment variable. Either adjust your PATH to include the directory that the exe is in, or else specify the exact path

system('/path/to/executable/hyd.exe arg0 arg1')

i tried system('/home/mab/hyd.exe projet.csv')

i received this error:

/bin/bash:hyd.exe aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type

the file is already there

[Walter Roberson]

your system does not recognize the file as one it knows how to execute. See the answer that I posted.

i adjusted my path to include the directory that the exe is in, but i got the same error

[Mabrouk Abaza]

i got this error:

/bin/bash:/home/mab/hyd.exe: cannot execute binary file : erreur de format pour exec()

Any help?

thanks

Linux cannot execute Windows .exe .

You have three choices:

1. You can find a Linux version of the program. This might be difficult, as it looks to me as if the program was written in the time of DOS 3.2, if I have tracked down the right hyd.exe (not certain at all)
2. You can install a Windows emulator such as Wine on your Linux system, and change your command line so that you invoke that emulator to run the program, such as system('wine /home/mab/hyd.exe')
3. You can switch your OS to MS Windows

i tried the second option with wine. I got some errors like this:

fixme:advapi:RegisterTraceGuidsW

any help?

thank you

Did you follow the install guide for Wine? https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=28025#notes

[Mabrouk Abaza]

I used:

sudo apt install wine

[Walter Roberson]

I would tend to think that the installation instructions directly from Wine would take priority.

If you still have the problem after you have followed them, post the complete traceback; that might help narrow the problem down.

Am I correct that your hyd.exe was created many years ago, in the 1980's ?

exe files are Windows executables that are not directly usable in Unix.

If you have a windows emulator such as wine you might be able to use that

system('wine file.exe arg0 arg1')
