How to save a txt file through gui app designer ?

So my gui has a button Generate. The idea is to create a txt file when user clicks on it. I am not able to assess how should I do that?

For creating .txt files, there are various ways including save (with '-ascii' option), writatable, writematrix, writecell and fopen (with 'w' option) so on.
And with uiputfile, users can choose where to save .txt files.
Here is a sample in Button pushed callback function.
% Button pushed function: GenerateButton
function GenerateButtonPushed(app, event)
p = rand(1,10);
[file,path] = uiputfile('out.txt');
save(fullfile(path, file), 'p', '-ascii')
end
