Hi, I've created a GUI and I want to save some data in a file.xls. To do this I use:
[file,path]=uiputfile('filename.xls', 'Save file name')
My problem is that i want the filename to be like "name_surname_clock", where name and surname are from an array created in the file.m, while clock is the actual date and time, that i obtain using:
format shortg
time=clock.
Can you please help me? Thank you.

E.g., assuming you have variables named "name" and "surname" for the first two parts and simply using datestr for the third part:
d = datestr(clock);
d(d==' ') = '_';
filename = [name '_ ' surname '_' d '.xls'];
Or you could use some other string format for the data and time of course.
