Pushbutton to save or print content of an handles

1 view (last 30 days)
Hi everybody! Anyone knows how to set a print/save button?? I inserted an Edit Text space (Enabled as inactive) to use it like a display to show results of my statistics... I'd like to set pushbuttons to print or save in a file the results I see in that space... It's possible?? How can I do it??
EDIT 1:
Image Analyst and Chandra advised me to use fprintf to "save" my statistics, and what if I wanted to save or print a chart?? There're any possibilities??

You can use GUIDE to make a GUI. In the callback for your pushbutton, put the code to save whatever you want to save. It might be calling save() to save variables to a proprietary format MAT file, it could use fwrite() to write a binary file, fprintf() to write a text file, csvwrite() or clmwrite(), imwrite() to write an image, or export_fig to save a screenshot. If you just want to save some text you sent to an edit field then I'd probably use fprintf() to write it out to a regular flat text file.

Yes, I didn't think about fprinf... Anything about how to open the std print interface??

Regarding your question below about how to save graphs, etc., use export_fig, as mentioned in the FAQ http://matlab.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#How_do_I_save_my_figure.2C_axes.2C_or_image.3F_I.27m_having_trouble_with_the_built_in_MATLAB_functions. and on the front page of the File Exchange (because it's the most frequently downloaded file). And regarding fprintf(), there are examples in the help, either for fprintf() or fopen().
