Thread Subject:

saving mat files

I have the following script for automatically saving .mat files...

fname=sprintf('Rck%d',i);
% where i varies numerically reflecting different files of interest
save([fname '.mat']);

The problem I'm having is that this saves all variables. What I can't figure out how to do is the correct format for saving a single variable. Doing it manually its as simple as:

save *.mat variable

I tried various combinations using the initial approach but none seem to work. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Jon

save([fname '.mat'], 'variable');
