MATLAB: Strings

strings

Hey guys,

I would like to input a string and then ask matlab to save a series of data with the file name of already input string. e.g. if the string that is input in the starting point of program is analyzed_data1 how can I assign this string in file_name below? Supposedly that there are several save commands, it would help to avoid frequently typing analysed_data1 every time.

save(fullfile(path,'file_name'));

Thank you so much 🙂

Hi,

you are nearly there, I believe: suppose you write in your program at the top

myfilename = 'analysed_data1';

you just call save with

save(fullfile(path, myfilename));

Something like this?

[filename pathname] = uiputfile('*.sin','Save file as');
save(fullfile(pathname,filename),'varname','-ascii')
% or exchange last line with one of the following:
% save(fullfile(pathname,filename),'varname','-ascii','-tabs')
% save(fullfile(pathname,filename),'varname','-ascii','-double')
% save(fullfile(pathname,filename),'varname','-ascii','-double','-tabs')

Try this:

% Get the name of the file that the user wants to save.
% Note, if you're saving an image you can use imsave() instead of uiputfile().
startingFolder = userpath % Or "pwd" or wherever you want.
defaultFileName = fullfile(startingFolder, '*.*');
[baseFileName, folder] = uiputfile(defaultFileName, 'Specify a file');
if baseFileName == 0
  % User clicked the Cancel button.
  return;
end
fullFileName = fullfile(folder, baseFileName)
% Now save whatever variables you want into a mat file
save(fullFileName, 'yourVariable1', 'yourVariable2');
