Answer 1

First check that you have the option spelled correctly. Click here for the options.

Try this:

matlab -wait -nodesktop -nosplash -r "myFunction('input_1.txt')"

Edit:

By default, when you call the matlab command from a script, the command starts MATLAB and then immediately executes the next statements in the script. The -wait option pauses the script until MATLAB terminates.

Use the -wait option in a startup script to process the results from MATLAB. Calling MATLAB with this option blocks the script from continuing until the results are generated.

Answer 2

There are two matlab binaries, one matlabroot/bin the other in matlabroot/bin/win64/. The first one is only a launcher application which typically terminates as soon as the main application is started successfully. To keep it open until the main application terminates you have to use the -wait option with your matlab.exe (not to be confused with the start -wait option, bot can be used together).

In your case try:

matlab -wait -nodesktop -nosplash -r myFunction('input_1.txt')

(I assume you intended to use "nodesktop").

All start parameters for windows are explained here in the documentation. (You have to click "option1...optionN" to expand the relevant section.)
