How to save a data in another folder?

Hello,

I have a folder name BSL_results and want to save following results into that that folder each time I run a code:

The folder BSL_results is in the same folder where code is being run. and want to save follwing two files (below) there. The .mat files are trc1.mat and s1.mat

sw_1 = Swf; Pe_1 = Pef; % inverted

sw0_1 = Sw0; Pe0_1 = Pe0;

Snear1 = data(:,1); Smid1 = data(:,2); Sfar1 = data(:,3);

save s1.mat sw_1 sw0_1 Pe_1 Pe0_1;

save trc1.mat Snear1 Smid1 Sfar1;

I like to define a string defining the work folder; e.g.

workfolder = 'C:/user/JR/projectName/'

save([workfolder 's1.mat'], sw_1, sw0_1, Pe_1, Pe0_1 )
save([workfolder 'trc1.mat'], Snear1, Smid1, Sfar1)

This way, the file is saved in the specified location no mater what the Matlab working directory is.

You should have quotes around the variable names in the calls to save, i.e.:

save([workfolder 's1.mat'], 'sw_1', 'sw0_1', 'Pe_1', 'Pe0_1' )
save([workfolder 'trc1.mat'], 'Snear1', 'Smid1', 'Sfar1')

Thank you for the correction.

Further correction (use fullfile):

save(fullfile(workfolder, 's1.mat'), 'sw_1', 'sw0_1', 'Pe_1', 'Pe0_1' )
save(fullfile(workfolder, 'trc1.mat'), 'Snear1', 'Smid1', 'Sfar1')

@Image Analyst thanks for correction and it is working
