Custom Print File Name

Hello!

I have the following line of code that exports a chart as a PNG file:

print -dpng printname.png -r250

I was wondering if I had a variable called "printaname" - how could I make Matlab save this file with that variable as the name fo the output image file? example if the printaname = AUD23-234 , the file would be AUD23-234.png.

Thanks! Dima

printaname = 'AUD23-234';
print('-dpng', printname, '-r250')

There is an example in help print. It is always a good idea to read the documentation in case of problems.

thank you for your answer. I did check the help for print but did not see an example close to this one)

Here it is:

Pass in a file name as a variable:

filename = 'mydata';

print(h, '-dpsc', filename);

See [EDITED]: I've made "help print" a link to the corresponding section.
