Save variables in a new directory (not current directory)

Hi. I'd save variables from the workspace into a file putting it into a new directory (not the curr dir). I use the command 'save' but it doesn't it! Thanking you for your attention, I'm looking forward for your answers.

you have to use save with the entire path..

 save('C:\My folder\filename','varname')

You could also look at the FULLFILE comamnd

 doc fullfile

what indicates 'varname' in above syntax

I know this is an old post, but i would like to add that right now it not necessary to add full path if you want to save in a subfolder

save('subfolder\filename','varname');

That subfolder has to be created beforehand.

We really recommend using fullfile instead of constructing folder names using strcat. It makes it easier to get the right path and makes the code more portable.
