Hi Gerda,
you need to use matlab's commandline option '-r' to execute commands after startup, and to close it afterwards.
one of the problems is that you can't write ';, into pd-messages without bbogart's entry, or editing .pd files by hand.
if you have got:
[matlab -r 'rand(20), quit'( [list2symbol] [list trim] | [shell] | [print STDOUT]
it will work!
try the patch in the attachment.
franz.

Dear all,
I'd like to execute a matlab file using the shell object. The standard command I use ist /usr/local/matlab7/bin/./matlab -nodisplay -nosplah.
Sending such a message to the shell object - I only get the info that the program starts on the pd-shell: STDOUT: < M A T L A B > STDOUT: Copyright 1984-2004 The MathWorks STDOUT: Inc. STDOUT: Version 7.0.0.19901 (R14) STDOUT: May 6 STDOUT: 2004 STDOUT: Warning: Duplicate directory name: /home/gerda/matlab. STDOUT: To get started STDOUT: type one of these: helpwin STDOUT: helpdesk STDOUT: or demo. STDOUT: For product information STDOUT: visit www.mathworks.com. STDOUT: >> DONE: 0
but there is no chance, to send it more options (change dir, set a paramater). So nothing.
Has someone done this already? (I know there is pdoctave, but octave is too slow). Or do iI treat the shell object in a wrong way? Or is it simply not possible? (I'd like to recalculate a matrix in matlab and then write a *.mtx file back to my pddirectory, in order to use it wth the iematrix objects). Or do I give matlab the wrong commands?
Help would be great! Thanks, Gerda
