HRESULT GetVariable([in] BSTR varname, [in] BSTR workspace,
    [out, retval] VARIANT* pdata)

Microsoft Visual Basic Client

GetVariable(varname As String, workspace As String) As Object

MATLAB Client

D = GetVariable(h,'varname','workspace')


Description

D = GetVariable(h,'varname','workspace') gets data stored in variable varname from the specified workspace of the server attached to handle h and returns it in output argument D. The values for workspace are base or global.

Do not use GetVariable on sparse arrays, structures, or function handles.

If your scripting language requires the explicit return of a result, then use the GetVariable function in place of GetWorkspaceData, GetFullMatrix, or GetCharArray.
