or save just those variables that you specify:
save filename var1 var2 ... varN
Usethewildcardcharacter(*)inthevariablenametosavethosevariables
that match a specific pattern. For example, the following command saves all
variables that start with str.
save strinfo str*
Use whos -file to examine what has been written to the MAT-file:
whos -file strinfo
Name Size Bytes Class
str2 1x15 30 char array
strarray 2x5 678 cell array
strlen 1x1 8 double array
Saving Structures
When saving a MATLAB structure, you have the option of saving the entire
structure, saving each structure field as an individual variable in the
MAT-file, or saving specific fields as individual variables.
For structure S,
S.a = 12.7; S.b = {'abc', [4 5; 6 7]}; S.c = 'Hello!';
Save the entire structure to newstruct.mat with the usual syntax:
save newstruct.mat S;
whos -file newstruct
Name Size Bytes Class
S 1x1 550 struct array
Save the fields individually with the -struct option:
save newstruct.mat -struct S;
