Save a matrix in MATLAB

I have a 100x100 matrix in MATLAB and I want to save it in matlab format. Is there a way to do so in MATLAB?

save( filename, 'matrixName' )

e.g.

myMatrix = rand( 100, 100 );
filename = 'C:\Stuff\Somefile.mat';

save( filename, 'myMatrix' );

Be sure to use the .mat extension for your file.

I did it in this way; but whenever i try to click say 'Somefile', load('Somefile.mat') appears in command prompt and then no values of say myMatrix are displayed.

[rihab]

For eg.

filename = 'Macintosh HD\Users\rb\Desktop\ab.mat';

save(filename ,'ax')

It always shows load('Macintosh HD\Users\rb\Desktop\filesb\ab.mat')

[Adam]

What do you mean by 'displayed'? It won't display anything from the file when you load it, but it will load whatever is in the file into your workspace.

Got it! actually I hadn't checked the workspace. thanks!

This does not save the Matrix as it is, it stored a struct version of if and now I can't index the elements in side the matrices. Even the size(Matrix) function gives a 1x1 for a matrix expected to be 4 dimentional;

It works fine for me. I get the same matrix in file as I do in my workspace.
