Dear all,
 
in Windows XP, I would like to open a an external program (Matlab),
write commands from a text file to it and close it again.
Now, I don't know how to do this using win32ole, as adapting
Hal Fulton's example of MS word doesn't work in a straightforward
way:
 
require "win32ole"
 
print "Enter the filename to print: "
docfile = gets
 
my_matlab = WIN32OLE.new "Matlab.Application"
my_matlab.visible =  true
my_matlab.documents.open docfile
my_matlab.options.printBackground =  false 
 
as the system doesn't know what to think of Matlab.Application.
 
From the Properties, I know that matlab is started via
 
C:\Programme\MATLAB_SV701\bin\win32\MATLAB.exe .
 
How do I tell my system that it's there ?
Alternatively, could this be done by createProcess() ? How ?
 
Thank you very much,
 
Best regards,
 
Axel
