Hi,
you can use the system command or the bang operator (!), e.g.
!my.exe -flag1 value1 -flag2 value2
Or
[a,b] = system('my.exe -flag1 value1 -flag2 value2')
In the case value is number stores in a variable:
[a,b] = system(['my.exe -flag1 ',num2str(value1),' -flag2 ',num2str(value2)])

Can I assign flag1=value1 and flag2=value2 before using the system command ? Tried.But It is not reading. Like, flag1=value1 flag2=value2 [a,b]=system('my.exe -flag1 -flag2)
