I'm trying to put a large set of bash commands into a matlab script and manage my variables (like file paths, parameters etc) from there. It is also needed because this workflow requires manual intervention at certain steps and I would like to use the step debugger for this.
The problem is, I don't understand how matlab interfaces with bash shell.
I can't do system('source .bash_profile') to define my bash variables. Similarly I can't define them by hand and read them either, e.g. system('export var=somepath') and then system('echo $var') returns nothing.
What is the correct way of defining variables in bash inside matlab's command window? How can I construct a workflow of commands which will use the variables I defined as well as those in my .bash_profile?

MATLAB must be launched from the command line on Linux.
Go to the Editor tab and click Run . MATLAB® displays the list of commands available for running the function. Click the last item in the list and replace the text type code to run with a call to the function including the required input arguments.
The shebang, #!/bin/bash when used in scripts is used to instruct the operating system to use bash as a command interpreter. Each of the systems has its own shells which the system will use to execute its own system scripts.
If all you need to do is set environment variables, do this in MATLAB:
>> setenv('var','somepath')
>> system('echo $var')
