MATLAB: Insert a string in a code to export a figure

Question

Hi,

This is code:

…

name='location';

options.Format = 'tiff';

hgexport(gcf, 'name.tif', options);

….

Can the 'location' be inserted to " name.tif" (replace 'name' by 'location')?

The exported filename is 'location.tif' (NOT 'name.tif').

Answer 1

Use sprintf or plain string concatenation to build your string:

hgexport(gcf, sprintf('%s.tif', name), options);
%or
hgexport(gcf, [name, '.tif'], options);
