How to input an argument in an Exit Shell command ?

Hi everybody,

I need to execute a Python script taking an argument from a Matlab script. I already tried this in my MatLab script :

ECG = input('Nom de fichier : ','s')

!C:\Users\Philippe\Anaconda2\python.exe Test.py &
ECG

EGC being the argument I need to run the Python script, but it doesn't work. Any idea on how I could do this ?

Thanks

try this

system(['C:\Users\Philippe\Anaconda2\python.exe Test.py & ', ECG])

I tried this, but it does not work. It results in an error :

Traceback (most recent call last): 
  File "Test.py", line 4, in <module> 
    filename = str(sys.argv[1]) 
IndexError: list index out of range

I think he does not recognize the 'ECG' as a part of the command.

try typing in the command yourself first to see what happens.

system('c:\users\.....')

Then try ['C:\Users\Philippe\Anaconda2\python.exe Test.py & ', ECG] to see if it returns the exact string as you would type it yourself. It it is, then the error is caused by something else.
