MATLAB: Save figure as .mat to a different folder

Question

Hi, I would like to save a figure as a mat file to a different folder other then the current folder. Simpfied code:

 str = sort(get(findobj(0,'Type','figure'),'name'));
 [s,v] = listdlg('PromptString','Select a file:',...
                        'SelectionMode','single',...
                        'ListString',str);
 fig = handle2struct(figure(s)); 
 save('Path to the folder',fig)

I've tried save(['Path'],fig) etc but nothing worked

Thank you

Answer 1

save('Path to the folder', 'fig')

The fig must be enclosed in quotes.

This is a frequently occurring problem, see Answers: Magic Strings, SAVE is not magic

Btw, FIG files have MAT format also, so you can store the FIG file by saveas and import it as struct by:

S = load('YourFile.fig', '-mat');
