Is there a way to switch between two command windows?

In a Matlab session, I call another matlab command window (say 2nd matlab) by using the command "!matlab -nodesktop -nosplash -r "myfunc" &" . After returning back to the first matlab session, I want to go back to the 2nd matlab once more to run "myfunc". However whenever I call "!matlab -nodesktop -nosplash -r "myfunc" &" new matlab command window is opened. Is there a way to switch between two matlab command windows?

Hello Kaan,

Unfortunately, MATLAB does not provide a built-in way to switch between multiple command windows once they are opened. Each time you use the !matlab -nodesktop -nosplash -r "myfunc" & command, it starts a new instance of MATLAB.

However, you can use MATLAB’s matlab.engine API. This allows you to start and control MATLAB sessions from Python or Java programmatically. You can start a MATLAB session, run commands, and then reconnect to the same session later.

I hope it helps!
