How can I save a figure to a variable includes address?

this is what I am doing:

    name=strcat(part1,'-',part2,'.jpg')
 name =
     '10-1.jpg'
 name2=fullfile(folder,name)
 name2 =
     [1x87 char]
 saveas(figure1,name2)
 Error using saveas (line 59)
 Invalid handle.

thanks for your helps.

Either part1 or part2 is a cell array of strings and needs to be a string instead. You could look back further in your code and make it a string instead of a cell array of strings, or you could use

      name = strcat( char(part1), '-', char(part2), '.jpg');

I would normally code the char(part1) as part1{1} but I do not know which of the two is the cell and using char() covers all the cases.

thanks for your answer. part1 and part2 were cell arrays. I changed defining name as you said, and it is working
