How to Use Edit Text in GUI in creating a filename?

 Hello Guys,

My problem is how to create a filename through editText in GUI?

t1=str2double(get(handles.Start_Time, 'string')); t2=str2double(get(handles.End_Time, 'string'));

I would like to use these t1 and t2 values in creating a text file name as below

repot_path = fullfile(pathname,'\','TimeSignal_of_' t1 'sec_to_' t2 'sec''.txt');

% finally file name should be like 'TimeSignal_of_3sec_to_4sec.txt'

dlmwrite(repot_path,Data_TBP,'precision', '%.4f','newline','pc');

but I am getting an error.

Kindly please help me.

Please format your code in a {} Code block and include any error messages you receive. It takes a lot more effort for us to read through unformatted code and then to find all you say at the end if "I am getting an error".

You shouldn't need to be putting '\' as an argument to fullfile though - one of the purposes of that function is to add in file separators specific to the machine in question.

repot_path = fullfile(pathname,['TimeSignal_of_' t1 'sec_to_' t2 'sec''.txt']);

Or

repot_path = [pathname '\TimeSignal_of_' t1 'sec_to_' t2 'sec''.txt'];

Hello Hardy,

Thank you for your quick response.

But still there is an error, it is not displaying t1 and t2 values. Blank space is visbile in place of t1 and t2 values.

Could not open file

C:\Users\uidr1651\Desktop\save_txt\TimeSignal_of_ sec_to_ sec.txt

can you please check it.

should I use num2str(t1)?

You do need num2str to put numbers in a string.

However, in your case t1 and t2 are the result of converting a string to a double so just remove the str2double from the assignments to t1 and t2.

Adam: +1, I didn't notice the str2double part. Thanks.
