Here goes:

saveas(figure(1),[pwd '/subFolderName/myFig.fig']);

What does the pwd do?

pwd is the current folder. That means subFolderName must be a currently existing folder of whatever folder you're in now.

See my answer below if you want to specify a different folder.

But in general you'd need to specify the folder:

folder = 'c:\whatever';
baseFileName = sprintf('Figure %d', loopIndex);
fullFileName = fullfile(folder, baseFileName);

It's recommended that you don't use i as a loop index or variable name because that's the imaginary variable sqrt(-1).

I want to use this method for Gui and for that i need to add a select folder option in UI. Is there any function for selecting folder?
