guipathsave in file

Hi,

Is there any way allow me to do this:

Cilck the push button, something like the uiputfile poped up
I choose certain random path and click 'OK'
this path will be shown as the static text in my GUI

Thanks!

Running this:

[file,path] = uiputfile;

returns the selected or specified file path to path.

You can get the fullfile path by doing:

fullfilepath = fullfile(path, file)

You can put the variable fullfilepath into a static text box since it is a string.

It looks like you want to write a string to the text file, but SAVE is not a good fit for this. The help for SAVE -ASCII explains:

 * MATLAB translates characters to their corresponding internal
   ASCII codes.  For example, 'abc' appears in an ASCII file as:
       9.7000000e+001  9.8000000e+001  9.9000000e+001

I would suggest you use a different function for writing the file, such as FPRINTF:

prog = mfilename('fullpath'); %Get current program path & name
[progpath,name,ext] = fileparts(prog);  %Split out folderpath
pathtext = fullfile(progpath,'lastdir.txt')   %Build new filename
fid = fopen(pathtext, 'w');
fprintf(fid, '%s', progpath);
fclose(fid);
