Get the outputs from a script launched by the run function

Hello everyone,

I got an issue while I was working with the run function. I currently use this function to lauch some Matlab scripts from another directory which is not in the matlab path e.g:

CheminData = 'D:.......'  ;
ScriptRun='Script2Run.m';
FullPath2Script=[CheminData,'\',ScriptRun];
run(FullPath2Script)

Sometimes these scripts have an output or more than one. The only way that I found to get the script outputs is by using the ans variable e.g

run(FullPath2Script)
outputVariable=ans;

Is there another way to properly obtain the output from a script launched by the run function ?

thanks 4 reading

There is an argument to be made that scripts do not have outputs, that scripts merely have "side effects".

If you want to capture text that is displayed by a script, look at evalc()
