I am trying to run a function on different files; I would like to use Bash-Like script to do that. When I looked on the web; I found that I can use .bat file.
My .bat fi
There are two matlab binaries, one matlabroot/bin the other in matlabroot/bin/win64/. The first one is only a launcher application which typically terminates as soon as the main application is started successfully. To keep it open until the main application terminates you have to use the -wait option with your matlab.exe (not to be confused with the start -wait option, bot can be used together).
In your case try:
matlab -wait -nodesktop -nosplash -r myFunction('input_1.txt')
(I assume you intended to use "nodesktop").
All start parameters for windows are explained here in the documentation. (You have to click "option1...optionN" to expand the relevant section.)
