How can I automate a script asking for terminal input?
in [Matlab]

From: Paul on 9 Jun 2010 16:49 I have a script that asks for user input via a call to the "input" function. I would like to to programmatically supply this input when the script is called. While it would be simple to modify the script, I would like to avoid changing because it is a third party script that frequently changes. The way it is used does not change. Any ideas?

Is *all* of the input pre-determined? If so, then you could run matlab itself in -nodisplay mode with input redirected from a file matlab -nodisplay -r "StartMe; quit" < InputFileName

Write an "interface" function that calls INPUT, gets the data, and calls the main workhorse function. That way you can either call the INPUT-based interface or the main workhorse function directly depending on whether you want interactive input or not. -- Steve Lord slord(a)mathworks.com comp.soft-sys.matlab (CSSM) FAQ: http://matlabwiki.mathworks.com/MATLAB_FAQ To contact Technical Support use the Contact Us link on http://www.mathworks.com |
