saving a file

Started by jplav32 ●July 16, 2004
Hi,

I am actually using matlab to generate random data files and I'd
like to know if there is any way to force matlab to save my files
with a different name each time I run the program. Actually, I use

fopen('data.txt','wb')

to save my random data but I'd like this name to change automaticly
each time I run the program... for example : data.txt, data1.txt,
data2.txt and so on ...

Do you have any idea how to do this?

Thanks a lot,

Jean-Philippe

Try something like this:

for index = 1:nfiles
fopen(['data' int2str(index) '.txt'],'wb')
end
