How can I save a file in the directory where the user chooses the file location and file name?

I want to create a save function to save .mat files with specific variables in the workplace. I'm aware that

    save(filename, variables)

will save my variables within the program under a specified folder name. However I want the user to be able to save wherever they want, and to save with a name of their choice.

For example, in Microsoft Word, you can save your file wherever you want in your directory and choose it's name. I want to know how to do the same thing for my program.

.

If this isn't applicable, I would at least like to know how to get the file name they input themselves, and have a designated folder outside the program. I can't find any answers to this question :(

Take a look at uiputfile .

Thank you! This worked!

But now I have a follow up question, how do you allow the user to load a file of their choice? Is it the same function or a different function?

You are welcome, I believe that for loading a file what you want is uiopen. If that solved the problem, let me know and I will write up an answer for your question, for it to be accepted and for the question to be closed.
