Hi all,
I have a cell array of the variable names as:
varnames = {'t1', 't2', 't3', 't4'}
I have tried to save the variables using varnames in a loop as
save(variable,varnames(i)) and save(variable,varnames{i})
but both of them give an error "Argument must contain a string".
How can I get a string from the cell array?
Thanks already in advance!
Regards, Maria
I managed to solve this already. It works when the variable is given in quotation marks as 'variable'.

The argument itself must be a string:
save('variable','varnames')
