savematfile - write a Matlab MAT-file (binary or ASCII)

Calling Sequence

savematfile('filename')

savematfile('filename', 'var1', 'var2', ...)

savematfile('filename', '-struct', 's')

savematfile('filename', '-struct', 's', 'f1', 'f2', ...)

savematfile(..., 'format')

savematfile filename var1 var2 ...

Parameters

• filename : character string containing the path of the file (needed)
• format : data format to use
  • "-mat" : binary MAT-file (default)
  • "-ascii" : 8-bit ASCII format
  • "-ascii" "-double" : 16-bit ASCII format
  • "-ascii" "-tabs" : delimits with tabs
  • "-ascii" "-double" "-tabs" : 16-digit ASCII format, tab delimited
  • "-v4" : A format that MATLAB Version 4 can open
  • "-v6" : A format that MATLAB Version 6 and earlier can open (default)
• var1, var2 : character strings containing the name of the variables to load (only for binary files)
• "-struct" "s" : saves all fields of the scalar structure s as individual variables within the file filename.
• "-struct" "s" "f1" "f2" : saves as individual variables only those structure fields specified (s.f1, s.f2, ...).

Description

saves variables in a Matlab MAT-file from Scilab. The Scilab data types are converted into the Matlab equivalents.
