This seems to work.

Create this TestBat.bat file

@echo off
echo This is a test.
echo %1

Run this in MATLAB

!TestBat abcdefg

You got:

This is a test.
abcdefg

Sorry, I have a new problem. I have this char variable: name='file.pdf';

when I do !test name

I see in the file test.bat "name", that is the container of the variabile but not the content of the variable.....I need to pass the content name.pdf to the file test.bat.

How can I resolve??

In MATLAB, write script like this:

name='file.pdf';
CmdStr=sprintf('test %s',name);
system(CmdStr);
