Double-clicking to open a file on a standalone matlab application

I have timeseries files with their own extension (.Z4R). I have compile my matlab GUI that read them.

Right now I load these files from the GUI (look for the path...). I wondering if it's possible to just double-click on the .Z4R in order to load it into my program.

Thank you, Marc

You'd need to associate that extension with your app. In Windows, it's the "Folder Options" where you make that association. Then your app has to be prepared to take in filenames via the command line (the varargin input argument list).

Thank you, How do you prepare your app to take in filenames ?

What is the name of the variable that have the path of the double-clicked file ?

varargin will have the arguments on the command line.
