saving and replacing matlab figures in a specific directory

Hi,

I need to save and/or replace (if already exist) matlab figures in a specific drectory, I'm using the following commands to save:

path = 'specific/directory'; name = 'figure_name'; saveas(gcf,[path,filesep,name],'png')

Is it possible to clear figures in the directory? How can I replace them?

Thanks

I think the path you are passing to saveas is a little messed up. The help function fullfile can help get it right:

 saveas(gcf, fullfile(path, name), 'png')

Both sentences work well for saving, but now my problem is to get replace figures already saved.
