Notepad focus window

Here is what I am using to open a text file in MATLAB.

command = sprintf ( 'notepad %s', fullpathOfYourFile ); System ( command )

However, when it opens the notepad filename, the focus return to my figure and my filename goes in the background. I want my file that I opened to be the focus.

Can someone help me?

It works here.

command = sprintf ('notepad %s', [pwd,'\myfile.m']); 
system (command);

Did you mean that you want MATLAB to return after the notpad file is opened instead of remaining 'Busy'? Then add an & to the command.

command = sprintf ('notepad %s', [pwd,'\myfile.m', '&']); 
system (command);
