Save selected variables into a file

4 views (last 30 days)
Hi,
I have what seems to be a very simple problem but I just can't figure it out. I have a number of variables including 3 specific variables: names, onsets, and durations. All three of these variables are 1x12 cell. I want to save these three variables into a .mat file. Since this is a loop, previously I have specified the file name (fname=[Q{i} '_' 'WM' '_' Block{m} '.mat'];). I tried save fname names onsets durations but this incorrectly gives me fname.mat.
Could anyone help?

If you don't use parentheses to use the "function" form of save, then it thinks fname is the actual filename itself rather than the name of a variable containing the filename. Confusing, I know - that's way I nearly always use the function form of functions except for really simple ones like axis, cla, etc.

save(fname, 'names', 'onsets', 'durations')
