Help with saving to matlab

hey everyone, i am trying to save to matlab on my windows based computer but I get the error message (and warning) Warning: Invalid escape sequence appears in format string.

My code is attached (unfortunately this old comuter does not show the option to add nice code.)

i will not attach my function but here is me using it to call and save:

[code]

chooseEquation = 'poggiolini'; for att_db=0.19/1e3:0.01/1e3:0.20/1e3 %dirname =sprintf('C:\Documents and Settings\zceeg80\My Documents\MATLAB\simplifyCode %d',att_db);

[ResultsPogQPSK1 ] = MaxReachAnalytical(chooseEquation ,att_db);

fname= sprintf('C:\Documents and Settings\zceeg80\My Documents\MATLAB\simplifyCode\result.dat'); save(fname,ResultsPogQPSK1);

end [\code]

Anyone know what Im doing wrong? Thanks in advance!!

Hey again, I found the problem. I had to put the second argument as a string. My code now looks like this:

 chooseEquation = 'poggiolini'; 
for att_db=0.19/1e3:0.01/1e3:0.20/1e3 dirname =sprintf('C:\Documents and Settings\zceeg80\My Documents\MATLAB\simplifyCode %d',att_db); [ResultsPogQPSK1 ] = MaxReachAnalytical(chooseEquation ,att_db);
fname= sprintf(dirname,'\result.dat');

What I would like to know is how to load the data saved. I currently notice a result.dat and when I double click on it, it has three matrix (I only want to access the one called reach). How do I load this data followed by plotting it? Thanks in advance and also to the previous comment :)

[TAB]

load(fname);

Thanks. Im having a little trouble with my matlab code and will rephrase it in a new post later today. Thanks for everyones input!

Answer 1

[TAB]

Try

fname= sprintf('%s',...
'C:\Documents and Settings\zceeg80\My Documents\MATLAB\simplifyCode\result.dat')

See

Please, u-will-neva-no, add comments as comments, answers as answers and read the documentation of this forum about when to use flags.

Sorry, How do I unflag the above?

I think I have fixed that, sorry once again!
