How do I save data from a matlab GUI table onto a text file when the user clicks a pushback button on the same gui?

writetable(T) only saves data to a textfile in the same location as the program. I want to be able to give the user an option to enter his own text file name and location. Please suggest what code I should enter in my callback as shown:
% --- Executes on button press in savebutton.
function savebutton_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
% hObject handle to savebutton (see GCBO)
% eventdata reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
% handles structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)

Rahul - according to writetable, you can specify the full path along with the filename. So if you have a table T, then you would save it to some file as
fullpathAndFilename = '/users/geoff/mytable.txt';
writetable(T, fullpathAndFilename);
Try the above and see what happens!
