I have a script that uses xlswrite to export some output. I use uiputfile to prompt my user for the filename and path for this output. If a user chooses an existing file, they are ask if they want to replace the existing file.
One of my users noticed that even through he selects "replace existing file", the file is not replaced. Instead the new output is written over what was already in the file. Which creates a big old mess.
I told him the simple fix is to just delete the file ahead of time and recreate it when the script prompts him. Or just use unique filenames. He wasn't impressed with this fix and wants me to make Matlab do it for him. (My boss, so have to).
Anyone know how to do this?
