Saving matlab file with identifier

Hi Everyone,

Suppose I have a simulation, that I run for different parameter settings. After each run, I wish to save my Matlab data. I obviously do not wish the new file to replace the old. Instead I wish my file to be identified with the setting I am running. So for example, suppose I have a parameter called number_of_agents, which is different for each simulation run, how do I save a file, that incorporates the value from number_of_agents as part of the filename?

Regards,

Ulrik.

I don't see a straightforward method, but you can still do it with some manipulation. For example:

FileName='MyData#Agents';
save([FileName,num2str(number_of_agents,4)]);

The idea is to append 4 digits of the value of number_of_agents to your data file name.

Thank you Fangjun Jiang, that is what I was looking for.
