@HUY what doesn't work like what? Please clarify. Also, seeing the result of you running this code would be very helpful.

So I ran modifying the code to echo the variables and it did, but the Matlab function just does not run. The Matlab screen comes up in the terminal but the code is not running. No error message is given I know it does not run because some files have to be created and none due. i suspect the problem is that since the $var1 are between the quotation marks "" in the phrase "functionmat($var1,$var2)" bash is not recognizing them as numbers. I also tried declaring the variables using the suggestion from below and it does not work either.

@HJY the shell doesn't care about variable types. If the code you gave us works with "functionmat(1,2)" you can replace that with var1="1" var2="2" followed by "functionmat($var1,$var2)". If that doesn't work then there is something else happening that you haven't identified
