I'm trying to make a matlab script into a function, but the input/output variables fall within the system() command so it isn't recognizing them as variables. Any ideas how I can get around this?

Here's basically how it looks:
function file(input,output)
system(input output)

Your question is fairly unclear. You might perhaps be wanting

system([input output])

or

sytem([input ' ' output])

or

system(['SomeCommandHere ', num2str(input), ' > ', output])

or any of a number of other possibilities.

Well the exact command is:
system('dcm2nii -o OutputFolder InputFolder') where the OutputFolder and InputFolder will be the two changing variables that I want to put in the function.

system(sprintf('dcm2nii -o %s %s', output, input));

Perfect, thanks!!
