Error using save

Unable to write file FFR.txt: permission denied.

Error in mattotext (line 3)

save ('FFR.txt','-ascii');

Do you have write access to the current directory? Does a file already exist called FFR.txt in the current directory?

to check if you have permissions use:

fileattrib ggoodFFR.mat

Hi Gowri,

You are using the right code to save the file as .txt.

The problem might be due to -

1. An anti-virus program denying permissions: Try to disable the antivirus to quickly check if the problem is resolved.
2. Limited write permissions in that location: Try to change the location of saving the file. You can also experiment by creating and deleting a text file in that location to confirm this.
