As far as I understand your question I don't see why you would want to do that.
Can you explain in a bit more detail what you mean and what you want? Have a read here and here. It will greatly improve your chances of getting an answer.
For example, I load data from file name a.txt, therefore i want to save output from workspace with name a.mat. How to do it automatically if I have a lot files?

You can use code like this in a loop.
file_name_including_dot_txt='example.txt';
data=function_that_reads_your_file(file_name_including_dot_txt);
[p,fn]=fileparts(file_name_including_dot_txt);
matfilename=fullfile(p,[fn '.mat']);
save(matfilename,'data')

Hello Rik, if I want to save it in a folder how can i change the last line of your code? kindly clarify
Edit the second to last line. That is where the location and file name is determined. What exactly do you mean by saving in a folder?
