Hallo everybody,

is it possible to control an external program from MATLAB? For example I want to be able to say in MATLAB (psedocode):

- open programX
- open documentY.yyy within programX
- convert documentY.yyy to documentY.mat within programX
- save documentY.mat in pathZ again within programX (something like "save as")
- close programX

Would it be possible to do? Are there any commands for that?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Sincerely
Yannis

In addition to the possibility of active x that was mentioned, there is
more generally the Java robot class.

thanks for the reply. I'm using windows vista 64bit (I know I know..) and matlab 2009b. the program is "diadem 10.1". I don't know if that plays a role. I will look into your sugestion and get back to you.

Sincerely
Yannis
