how to save the varname contains different characters (attached) as a cell array format using GUI in matlab ?

Below is the code displaying the variables inside the loop. How to save these displayed variables as a cell format using GUI in matlab?

for varid=0:nvars-1

[varname, xtype(i,:), dimids, numatts(i,:)] = netcdf.inqVar(ncid(i,:),varid);

disp(['--------------------< ' varname ' >---------------------'])

end

What would you like the GUI to do? Do you want a push button to ask the user for a folder and file name where he/she wants to save the variables?

yes

Manoj - please clarify what you mean as cell format. Do you wish to save the data to a mat file or a text file or something else? Please describe the format of the file.

for varid=0:nvars-1
  [varname, xtype(i,:), dimids, numatts(i,:)] = netcdf.inqVar(ncid(i,:),varid);
  outstring{varid+1} = ['--------------------< ' varname ' >---------------------']);
end

[outfile, outpath] = uiputfile('*.mat');
if ischar(outfile)
  %if the user did not cancel
  filename = fullfile(outpath, outfile);
  save(filename, 'outstring');
end
