How do I store patches in order?

I am the given code for creating 28*28 patches from a 224*224 image.

fullFileName='sample.bmp';
rgbImage = imread(fullFileName);
imshow(rgbImage);

set(gcf, 'units','normalized','outerposition',[0 0 1 1]);
drawnow;

[rows columns numberOfColorBands] = size(rgbImage)

blockSizeR = 28; % Rows in block.
blockSizeC = 28; % Columns in block.

wholeBlockRows = floor(rows / blockSizeR);
blockVectorR = [blockSizeR * ones(1, wholeBlockRows)];

wholeBlockCols = floor(columns / blockSizeC);
blockVectorC = [blockSizeC * ones(1, wholeBlockCols)];

if numberOfColorBands > 1
    
    ca = mat2cell(rgbImage, blockVectorR, blockVectorC, numberOfColorBands);
else
    ca = mat2cell(rgbImage, blockVectorR, blockVectorC);
end


plotIndex = 1;
numPlotsR = size(ca, 1);
numPlotsC = size(ca, 2);
for r = 1 : numPlotsR
    for c = 1 : numPlotsC
        fprintf('plotindex = %d,   c=%d, r=%d\n', plotIndex, c, r);
        subplot(numPlotsR, numPlotsC, plotIndex);
        rgbBlock = ca{r,c};
        imshow(rgbBlock); 
        
        [rowsB columnsB numberOfColorBandsB] = size(rgbBlock);
        
        caption = sprintf('Block #%d of %d\n%d rows by %d columns', ...
            plotIndex, numPlotsR*numPlotsC, rowsB, columnsB);
        title(caption);
        drawnow;
        
        plotIndex = plotIndex + 1;
    end
end

Now I want to store those patches in the order they are created, so that, for first row there are 8 patches and second row starts with 9th patch. I also want to store those patches with same name as original image with an extension at the end. For example if the image name is sample.bmp, the patches should be named like sample_01, sample_02...like this.

"I also want to store those patches ... the patches should be named like sample_01, sample_02...like this."

It is not clear what you mean by "store":

• if you mean "save to disk" then sure, that is easy using sprintf.
• if you mean "assign to a variable", then no, they shouldn't be.

Please clarify what you are trying to do.

Maybe he wants to save them as new images to disk, so those are filenames, rather than creating variables with that name. Maybe the poster can clarify what "store" means to him.

I want to save each of the patches as an image file in my disk. For each input image, I want to get 64 patches with same name as original file.
