Data and File Management

Data import and export, file operations and locations

File operations functions let you read data from different types of files, execute the files, and write data obtained in a MuPAD notebook to an external file. The import library provides functions for importing external data, such as text and bitmap images, into MuPAD.

• Data Import and Export
  Import text and bitmap data, export data in STL format
• File Operations
  Interact with system files and folders, set paths
• Operating System Commands
  Interact with operating system from MuPAD
