hi everyone, I want to save a MyFile.txt from the current folder in another folder with a dialog box so that I can change the name and the folder. i used
[file,path] = uiputfile('MyFile.txt','Save my file');
hier the dialog box get opened but there is no saved file when i save. so I thought I could used this one
copyfile('MyFile.txt',uigetdir('C\:',);
but it doesn't work either. how can i do that?
Thank you

[file,path]=uigetfile
name=fullfile(path,file) % The file name with the path
df='destination' % Your destination folder
nameF=fullfile(df,file);
copyfile(name,nameF)
