Try this:

% Get the name of the file that the user wants to save.
% Note, if you're saving an image you can use imsave() instead of uiputfile().
startingFolder = userpath % Or "pwd" or wherever you want.
defaultFileName = fullfile(startingFolder, '*.*');
[baseFileName, folder] = uiputfile(defaultFileName, 'Specify a file');
if baseFileName == 0
  % User clicked the Cancel button.
  return;
end
fullFileName = fullfile(folder, baseFileName)
% Now save whatever variables you want into a mat file
save(fullFileName, 'yourVariable1', 'yourVariable2');

yes, that worked :) What if, instead of saving, i want to load? with a name chosen by the user?
