I have a Matlab table called `T1` stored in the file `F1`. Below is what I’m trying to do using MATLAB.jl, but it does not work. What did I do wrong?

```julia
using MATLAB
F1 = "/Path/Test.mat";
@mput F1;
eval_string("load F1;");
eval_string("A = T1;"); 
eval_string("
T0 = horzcat(A.Cruise, A.Station, A.temperature, A.oxygen);
"); @mget T0;

```

Thank you!

try

```julia
mat"""
    $u = $x + $y
    $v = $x - $y
"""
