Hello,
I used

save -ASCII results rc re lt rho_c_m2 rho_c_cm2
r...
pad_distance

to save the variables in to file results, but it
turned out that the numbers stored in the file
results does not have variable names before them,
it is not convenient to see which variable
corresponds to which data. I read the help but did
not find any switch to turn on this function.

Thanks for your help.

Zhengquan

Correct. If you need the variable name, you will
have to save the data yourself, by using fopen()
to open the file, then for each variable,
fprintf() to write the name of the variable and
fprintf() to write the contents of the variable.
At the end, fclose() the file.
