Hi. I am trying to save a .TXT file inside a certain folder. I am currently using this code, but something is not working....

destdirectory = 'C:\Users\....\FolderN'
A = 300;
save(fullfile(destdirectory, 'A.txt'), 'A');  % ???

I had also thought of saving it in the current folder and moving it to the desired folder with 'movefile' but to no effect:

A = 300;
writematrix(A, 'A.txt')
destdirectory = 'C:\Users\....\FolderN';
movefile('A.txt', 'destdirectory');

Hi,

There is an error in your code, you've added quotes around your variable name. This should work.

A = 300;
writematrix(A, 'A.txt')
destdirectory = 'C:\Users\....\FolderN';
movefile('A.txt', destdirectory);

Alternativeley, you can use writematrix to create and write into a txt file :

writematrix(A,fullfile(destdirectory,'A.txt'))
