Bash loop avorted because of Matlab (I think)

Hello everyone. First, I'm sorry for all the mistakes I can make in english, however you should be able to understand me. Here is the matter : I have a bash script and there is inside this kind of loop :

 while IFS=' ' read var1 var2
   ....
   ./matlab.bash
 done < file.txt

And there is inside the matlab.bash script only bash commands, exept this one :

 matlab -nodesktop -nosplash -r sigma_fit

The fact is that the which loop stoped after the first iteration, and it's because of this matlab command, because when I comment it, the loop do all the iteration. Is there any well known kind of interaction between matlab and bash loops ?

Just to know : sigma_fit is a matlab script ended by quit.

Thank you for your answers !!

Kind regards,

Liris

Define "which loop stoped" -- did you receive an error message? Did the loop stall? Did you mean something else? Without that information it's probably going to be impossible to determine what happened.

"Which loop stoped" is "While loop stopped", sorry for the mistake. It's the loop in the the script I put in the main post. I did not get any error message. It just run, start matlab, close matlab, print "Firt iteration done" (because I put this at the end of the loop in the main script to see if, indeed, the first iteration was fully done), and nothing more, I'm back in the terminal like :

>> ~/home/.../src$

And I can do use it normally, with ls, cd, etc...

Thank you for your answer by the way !!
