How to run function within a MATLAB-script (m-File) from Windows batch-file with arguments

I have a Matlab-script (myscript.m) containing functions (e.g. myfunction) I want to call from a Windows batch-file (*.bat) with additional arguments, somewhat like this:

SET "myscript_folder=C:\Users\me\Documents\scriptFolder"
matlab -nosplash -noFigureWindows -wait -r "'%myscript_folder%\myscript.m', myfunction, 'U:\complexpath\text.txt', 'textargument', 300, 300)"

I have not yet understood how to call matlab with arguments from a batch file, especially when I am calling a .m-file in a different folder.

Where other answers have failed me:

• Some answers to similar questions require the MATLAB script to be adjusted, for example to allow using predefined variables instead of arguments. Since I am using it in a research context, I don't want to alter the actual script, so other people can work with the same script.
• For scripts, defining variables beforehand seems to be recommended. In my case however, I need to call a specific function within a .m-file.
• Some answers suggest to switch folders (cd ...) and then call the function from there. In the context of my batch file however, I don't want to change current folders, since I need to loop over a number of local files, calling the matlab-script for each of them.

Is there a decent way to accomplish what I need?

Hello Christian,

This is a really hard question to understand. You mention functions, scripts, batch, -r, text input, and lots of stuff that is contradictory. Best is to clarify things a bit.

Here's a link to read about non-interactive and interactive session of MATLAB. Link

matlab -batch   "cd C:\Users;   disp('test');   disp(pwd)"
%      ^option  [^ imagine you're writing this in MATLAB^]

General suggestion is that you don't change current directory, but rather work with full paths to files/folders/anything.

Your script calls a function, if that function is a file, you can just call it directly.
