MATLAB: How to open mat file that contains DOT

custom matt fileserror in loadingload matt filesmat files handler

During my program, I saved matfile with following name
experiment_1.1_test.mat
but when I try to load I receive following error. Number of columns on line 1 of ASCII file
/home/aravin/matlab_code/experiment_1.1_test.mat
must be the same as previous lines.
and when I save same file without DOT
ex: experiment_1_1_test.mat
it works fine.
Actually, now experiment_1.1_test.mat contains processing of 5 days, so i want that to be opened. Any solution.

Have you tried:
load('experiment_1.1_test.mat','-mat')
That will force MATLAB to treat it as a .mat file instead of an ascii file.
