Write to a file in fileEnsembleDatastore

Hello! in the relevant examples for writing data to files in fileEnsembleDatastore, the write function has the format:

function writeNewData(filename,data)

save(filename, '-append', '-struct', 'data');

end

What if I want to write variable names using save like:

save(filename,variables,'-append')

Kindly guide how I will use the writeToLastMemberRead function to save the variables to files in fileEnsembleDatastore instead of saving data in structure form as required by the format of the writeNewData function given above.

Using save(filename,variables,'-append') is fine. The format save(filename, '-append', '-struct', 'data'); saves the fields of the stuct data as individual variables in the mat file, see "Save Structure Fields as Individual Variables" on the save help page https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/save.html
