Thread Subject:

save mat file with a different extension

Hello
I sometimes face this problem when I am developing
applications where I need to save my solutions into a MAT
file but need to rename them as *.dat or *.kon . Using save
(). I can save any mat file into *.kon
ex:
load mri
save('mri.kon','D','map','siz');
That save the above in mri.kon
But when I try to load using load() I get the following
error
load('mri.kon')
??? Error using ==> load
Unknown text on line number 1 of ASCII file
C:\MATLAB\R2006b\work\mri.kon
"MATLAB".

Please suggest.. It would be really nice if I could save
my solutions with *.kon and some other data in *.mat

Regards
Vihang

load('mri.kon','-mat')
