matex

Matlab script executioner and workspace viewer. Makes it easy to write matlab scripts without using the matlab GUI.

OPTIONS:
    filename            Path to matlab file to execute
    -w | --workspace    Show workspace in terminal

The variables are automatically refreshed about every 0.5 second. Execute a script by running

matex ./path/to/my_script.m

The code is tested with matlab R2022b, but it might work on any version >= R2014b.
