Exporting Multiple Variables from Mathematica to MATLAB - Quick and Easy Guide

[member 428835]

Hi PF!

I'm trying to export two matrices $A$ and $B$ from Mathematica into MATLAB. I can export one just fine; so far what I write is

SetDirectory[NotebookDirectory[]]
Export["data.mat", {A}]

Do you know how I can export two variables at a time and then how I can export directly into MATLAB's workspace rather than have to click on the .mat file and upload manually? I have a mac if that's relevant.

Thanks!

Did you check the Matlab and Mathematica website or search for it?

I found this reference on mathworks

Yea I did try. I think I actually figured it out. Mathematica has an example here http://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/format/MAT.html under "scope" that works. Thanks!

I didn't find any reference to Mathematica at CodeProZone and the Matlab link had nothing posted either so its a no go.

RosettaCode.org is a better reference

Pick a solved task and then use the links to compare how it was solved using the selected language. From there you can piece together how to do your conversion.

NOTE: not all solutions are optimal or guaranteed to work.

I also found a conversion tool for snippets:

and here's some commentary on using the ToMatlab() tool:

which doesn't look promising for more complex code.
