How to run Matlab in batch mode without GUI

Question

I have this script (Run_Matlab_No_GUI.vbs) which is supposed to run a MATLAB file test.m.

test.m is supposed to produce a file test.txt.
I run it on a windows command window.

Here is the listing:

# Run_Matlab_No_GUI.vbs
Set ml = CreateObject("Matlab.Application")
ml.Visible = false
ml.Execute("test.m")
ml.Execute("pause(4)")

% test.m
a=1;
b=1;
c=a+b;
dlmwrite('C:\tmp\HEEDS1\test.txt',c);

Problem: it runs without errors but is not producing the text.txt file.

Path to MATLAB: C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2015a\bin
Path to test.m: C:\tmp\HEEDS1

Command line is in the test.m folder

You can run MATLAB in no GUi mode through

matlab -nodesktop -nosplash -r test

Did that. it still shows a Matlab command environment. Ran this "C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2015a\bin\matlab.exe" -nodesktop -nosplash -noFigureWindows -r run('test.m'); end; quit

Consider adding -nodisplay

-nodisplay and -nodesktop are different, so try with -nodisplay as @Marouen suggests. You can find more information here.

@NaftaliHerscovici: try also putting your MATLAB command in quotes: -r "run('test.m'); end; quit".
