Hi,

I have a function file say fun(NL). It does something and saves the data in a file say
NLxx.out.mat. Before I call the function with a specific value of NL (NL=08) I go into the function file and change the file name to NL08.out.mat.
Again before I call fun(04) I go and edit the function file so the output is written in NL04.out.mat. Is there an automatic way I can change the NLxx.out.mat. For example it takes the input value NL=something and then save it as say NLsomething.out.mat?

Thanks for your help.

is NL always numeric?
if so try this:

function out = fun(NL)

%some code of whatever "fun" is supposed to accomplis goes here of course
% this assumes "out" is the variable you want to save, make sure to include the square brackets and spaces as this is basically horizontally concantanating the string.

save(['NL' num2str(NL) '.out.mat'],'out')


hope this helps, at least it works for me. Now if someone knew how to automate the assignment of variables in a similar fashion that would be outstanding.
