[Guide, R2017a] Save variable, strings and other informations in an external file that can be later be used as database to load the informations

Hey Guys,

Here below there is the GUI I am working on. It load some data from a .txt file and it will find specific points on the plot following the indications of the table. The data in the table rapresent a program details. Since I use different programs for different analysis, I want to store the cell data stocked in handles.uitable1 in an external file. The Number of cycles edit text and an eventual string (comment of the program) should also be stocked. Look at the picture to see how I was planning to do it in Excel. The user can also decide the name of this program and every time the .m file is launched, the already existing programs should popup in the list box under the name chosen previously by the user.

Initially I wanted to use excel but I am not sure it would neither be the easiest option nor the fastes. Hence here I am, asking you which format would make the trick and how to proceed.

Thank you very much guys. Michael
