savematfile

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)

// As a Matlab 7.3 file
A = rand(10, 10);
B = sprand(100, 100, 0.1);
savematfile("test_matfile.mat", "A", "B", "-v7.3");
clear;
loadmatfile("test_matfile.mat");
disp(A)
disp(B)
