Embed Matlab function files in Julia

New to Julia

I would like to call some custom Matlab functions in julia which are defined in separate .m file.

As MVP, consider the file Cps.m which contains the following code

function C = Cps(T)
% solid maltodextrin
% from Jakob Slots master thesis pp. 87
C = (1548.8+1.9625.*(T-273.15)-5.9399e-3*(T-273.15).^2)*1e-3;%1000;%0*2e3 + 4e3*0;
end

Is there a way to import these functions into julia with Matlab.jl such that I can call the matlab function
as

mat"""
    $res = Cps($input)
"""

or in a similar way?

Never tried to interop with MATLAB, but I’m pretty sure you can find some example here: https://github.com/JuliaInterop/MATLAB.jl

Hope this help!

I have also never tried this but my guess is that as long as the Cps.m file is on Matlab’s path then you should be able to do exactly what said. The docs say that

mat"""

"""

just executes arbitrary Matlab code. I would take that to mean if you typed it into the Matlab command window it would work.

Thanks, I did not consider that the functions are already accessible if the path to the folder containing the function is already in the search path, so I can do the following.

mat"""
addpath($functionpath)
Cps(1.3)
"""
