Use the output of ipython in a variable

[garikoitz]

Hi, is this possible?
I need to run some code in Matlab and then read the output which is only one number. I don't want to bring and brought back all the structures from Matlab.
When I use the iPython option I can see the correct answer (ans = ) in the iPython console, but I don't know how to use it in a variable.

thanks for the project!

Hi Gari,

Yes you can do this. Assuming you want to store the result in Python as "res_py", and this number is stored in Matlab as "res_mat", you can use the following cell magic command to retrieve the number:

%%matlab -o res_py
res_py = res_mat;
