Hello, I'm designing a GUI involving callings to external functions (.exe) (e.g. system('doThis.exe') ) Those functions produce a lot of output to the MatLab command line and I'd like to simply divert them to/reproduce them in a textbox in my GUI. Is there a simple way to do this? I am using GUIDE but my textbox is created programmaticaly.
Thanks in advance.

If you do not need to have it happen as the output is produced, then assign the output of system() to a variable and display that variable. The variable will not be available until the command finishes.

[status, cmdout] = system('doThis.exe');
then cmdout is the string.
Capturing the output on-the-fly is messy. I think it was discussed about 3 weeks ago, but I do not seem to find the discussion.
