A Bash script & Mex program which allows for #!-style scripting against a background Matlab session.

File Information
Description

Unfortunately Mathworks has not designed Matlab to behave like the typical Unix interpreter, i.e., there is no #! ("shebang") support similar to Bash, Perl, or Python. This submission demonstrates how to set this up using only about 20 lines of bash (and a small mex program written in C).

To minimize execution time of each #! script, the provided Bash script establishes a background session of Matlab and re-uses this session as needed.

Please see "readme.html" for installation and comments.

Interesting concept.

It would be really interesting to be able to pipe data to the script. Do you have any idea on how to do that?

Hi Mathieu. That's the idea--just look at the code--it already does this.
