Thread Subject: save file with specific path and name. please help.

Hi everybody!

First, this is my second week with maltab. So I'm sorry if it looks stupid, but i really cant figure it out.
For my project I have to save a file to specific path with the date as name.
For that I want that the path can be changed in the .ini file of the program.

Now I tried to use uiputfile. With this function i can choose the name or the path. Not both and that is just what i want.

default.path = C:\Program Files
datum = date;
[name,path,index] = uiputfile(path+datum,name);
saveas(gcf,[path name])

Please help! I hope it is clear.
Thank you anyway!

--------------------------------------
Take a look at sprintf(), fileparts(), and fullfile() functions.
You also need single quotes around your path since it's a character
string.
