finish dos command before continuing with the next Matlab command

5 views (last 30 days)
In the middle of my Matlab m-file, I have this code:
system('start model.exe');
At this point I want to finish running the model.exe first then continue with the next matlab command in the m.file. But this is not happening. M-file is terminated at this point because it jumps to the next line befor completing model.exe. Any Idea?
Update: Why I added start was because I did not want the progress of the model.exe printed in Matlab Command Window. Do you know other way how I can prevent printing of the .exe?

Just get rid of the start. That is just use:
system('model.exe');
Per start documentation, it starts a new process to run the executable. As a result, the command window spawned by matlab completes immediately.

Thanks again it worked with this one:
system('start /wait model.exe ');
