Kenneth, The Perl code I put together: #!/fs/COTS/gnu/bin/AIX/perl open(MATLAB,"| /home/sis3ewh/run_matlab -nojvm"); use FileHandle; MATLAB->autoflush(1); print MATLAB "timer = struct('seconds',289567981,'nano',944567000,'raw',[],'eng',char('Initializing'));save timer;\n"; What I'm hoping for is the following when loaded into MATLAB: timer = seconds: 289567981 nano: 944567000 raw: [] eng: 'Initializing I get dumped into MATLAB but no .mat MATLAB appears anywhere with the name "timer.mat" and I can't figure out where the problem is. Maybe some Monks are x-matlab gurus! At any rate, any help would be appreciated - thanks!!
