How to pass Matlab variables to pyrunfile?

My Matlab script:

clc
clear all
close all

% Define Matlab variable
var01 = 'Some string';

pyrunfile("pyScript.py", var01)

The pyScript.py:

import sys
arg01 = sys.argv[1]
print(arg01)

The error I'm getting when I run it:

Error using <string>><module>
Python Error: IndexError: list index out of range

What would be the proper way to pass Matlab variable to a python script that can be assigned with sys.argv[1]?

Thank you,

clc
clear all
close all
% Define Matlab variable
var01 = 'Some string';
pyrunfile("pyScript.py '" + var01 + "'")

FYI, you can refer to the official doc for pyrunfile.

Thank you Angelo. I read the doc but for some reason I couldn't figure out how it will work for my case.

Your solution works.

Thanks again.

I am happy that the solution worked for you 😊 Another reason why I left the doc link is that someone else can see this post later and refer to the official doc. Have a good day!
