How to dynamically generate a file name from a cell array?

Hi All,

I'm pretty new to MATLAB so sorry for any vocabulary abuses. I am trying to write a script which dynamically generates file names from the values of a cell array (all text). But I can't seem to find a way to code in the selection of a variable into a save command. Everything I've tried reads the variable as text.

Here is my code: savename=Filenames(1)

savename =

    'CRM 114 Bottle 1183-pre CV1 ALK3'

How do I generate a text file with the name "CRM 114 Bottle 1183-pre CV1 ALK3" instead of "savename"?

Thanks so much for the assistance.

savename = Filenames{1};
save(savename, '-ascii')

Hi Walter,

Thanks for the quick response.

Unfortunately, I got this error message when I tried it.

??? Error using ==> save

Argument must contain a string.

Any ideas?
