As the title, I don't want to execute cmd in a specified or specific directory, but it can be executed no matter which directory I execute the file in.
How can it be modified?
out = fileread('1.txt');
cmd = ['xxx.exe', out];
system(cmd)

Use a fullfile function to read the files from whichever directory and /or drive they are located as shown below.
out = fileread([fullfile('c:\','myfiles'),filesep,'1.txt']);
cmd = ['xxx.exe', out];
system(cmd)
Check if your are working in MS Windows or Mac OS environment, and modify the filesep to read the files from the source locations
