engPutVariable

Put variables into a MATLAB engine's workspace

C Syntax

• #include "engine.h"
  int engPutVariable(Engine *ep, const char *name, const mxArray *mp);
  

Arguments

ep
   Engine pointer.

name
   Name given to the mxArray in the engine's workspace.

mp
   mxArray pointer.

Description

engPutVariable writes mxArray mp to the engine ep, giving it the variable name, name. If the mxArray does not exist in the workspace, it is created. If an mxArray with the same name already exists in the workspace, the existing mxArray is replaced with the new mxArray.

engPutVariable returns 0 if successful and 1 if an error occurs.
