Using standard io stream:stdin and stdout in a matlab exe

Question

Question

I want it to \'listen\' to the standard input stream in a running (compiled) Matlab executable.

This is how I believe it is done in

Answer 1

It turns out that input reads the standard input stream.

The reason why I failed to collect my inputs, is because I was using it as follows:

input('prompt','s')

As a result the string 'prompt' was sent to the program calling my application, and as it considered this an invalid response/request it did not send anything.

I have succeeded in making a small test program, and unlike I suspected before it is NOT a problem that the other application doesn't hit enter after sending a command.

The general solution

This is the way I have my current setup,

while 1
   stdin = input('','s'); % Note the empty first argument
   if ~isempty(stdin)
    stdout = process_input(stdin);
    stdout % Displaying the result (And thus sending it to stdout)
   end
end
