Create .txt file and open dialog for saving-path

Hello, how can I use the function "writetable" in a way, that it opens a dialog and asks me where to save the newly generated ".txt"-file? With "iuputfile"?

You can't. This is a job for uiputfile.

[FileName, PathName, FilterIndex] = uiputfile('*.txt', 'Save table as:');
if ~ischar(FileName)
  disp('User aborted the dialog');
  return;
end
File = fullfile(PathName, FileName);
writetable(T, File);

Thank you @Jan

Someon also can use

[FileName, PathName, FilterIndex] = uiputfile('*.txt', 'Save table as:');
if ischar(FileName)
    File = fullfile(PathName, FileName);
    writetable(T, File);
else
    disp('User aborted the dialog');
end

without using 'return'.

figured it out by myself

[filename, pathname]=uiputfile('*.txt','Save');
vname=@(x) inputname(1);
i=vname(Table_1);
filename=[pathname i '.txt'];
writetable(Table_1,filename,'Delimiter','\t');
