MATLAB: Save a variable nameing it after a string

Question

I have several matrices that I would like to save in a loop. I've tried to read all the save documents but it doesnt seam to work. I can save the matrix using a string and it becomes like A150.mat but I also want the matrix inside to be called that as well. The problem is that save() saves the matrix after what its called so when I get the name as a string(imported from a document outside matlab) its impossible to give the matrix that name. Thanks for any help

Answer 1

can you not import the string prior to saving? something like:

...
str = importFun(file);
eval([str ' = matToSave;'])
save([str '.mat'],str)
eval(['clear ' str])
clear str
