where you saved the file upload? using GUI

I'm making a guide in Matlab and I have some problems for Load Data!

I want know where they are saved? because i need this file in a specific folder.

[FileName Path]=uigetfile('*.dat','Batimetría');

if FileName == 0

 return

end

I would appreciate your prompt response.

Regards

Study this snippet of code:

% Have user browse for a file, from a specified "starting folder."
% For convenience in browsing, set a starting folder from which to browse.
startingFolder = 'C:\Program Files\MATLAB';
if ~exist(startingFolder, 'dir')
  % If that folder doesn't exist, just start in the current folder.
  startingFolder = pwd;
end
% Get the name of the file that the user wants to use.
defaultFileName = fullfile(startingFolder, '*.*');
[baseFileName, folder] = uigetfile(defaultFileName, 'Select a file');
if baseFileName == 0
  % User clicked the Cancel button.
  return;
end
fullFileName = fullfile(folder, baseFileName)

To save instead of get a filename, use uiputfile() instead of uigetfile():

% Get the name of the file that the user wants to save.
% Note, if you're saving an image you can use imsave() instead of uiputfile().
startingFolder = userpath
defaultFileName = fullfile(startingFolder, '*.*');
[baseFileName, folder] = uiputfile(defaultFileName, 'Specify a file');
if baseFileName == 0
  % User clicked the Cancel button.
  return;
end
fullFileName = fullfile(folder, baseFileName)

"uigetfile" function returns only the filename and path of the file. It does not upload the file. You can read more about this in the doc page

Once you have the file name and the path (location of the file) you can then use the appropriate file read/write functions depending on the type of file.

But, how change this path of the file that i need in specific a folder?
