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(..., '-v4')
savematfile(..., '-v6')
savematfile(..., '-v7')
savematfile(..., '-v7.3')
savematfile filename var1 var2 ...

Arguments

: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 : :”-v7” A format that MATLAB Version 7 and earlier can open (default) : :”-v7.3” A format that MATLAB Version 7.3 and earlier can open :

: :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.

Examples

A = `rand`_(10,10);
B = `sprand`_(100,100,0.1);
savematfile('test_matfile.mat','A','B','-v6');
clear;
`loadmatfile`_('test_matfile.mat');
`disp`_(A)
`disp`_(B)
