I have a program which I am applying on 50 files. I want to now save output for everytime I run the program in a new file.
Currently, I am using "save outfile er2 -ascii"
But everytime program runs it replaces outfile with the current output parameters. But I want in a new file i.e. I want a file for every run of program.
Please help me out

F = nextname(fullfile(D,'outfile'),'01','.mat');
save(F,'er2')
It will ensure that the filename is unique and unused each time you save the data.
I don't recommend using save for writing text files. For writing text files you should use a more appropriate function:
