Saving workspace variables with different .mat file name using for loop

Hello all,
I just wanted to save workspace variables as a .mat file whose set of variables are extracted from a struct that consists of time and data fields in a timeseries struct and therfore the different variables should be named differently,
i have tried the ff
for i=1:N
temp=x{i,1}.data
save temp.mat temp
end
unfortunatly the above code saves only the last iteration (Nth iteration),any help appreciated to access all the N elements,and eventually creat N math files,
Thank you in Advance!

My guess at what you want:
filestruct = load('Vb1nicw.mat');
fn = fieldnames(filestruct);
for K = 1 : length(fn)
thisfield = fn{K};
tempvar = struct(thisfield, filestruct.(thisfield));
outfile = [thisfield '.mat'];
save(outfile, '-struct', 'tempvar');
end
This will take each variable in Vb1nicw.mat and will save it out to a separate .mat file that is named after the variable, and the variable name used inside the .mat file will be the same as the name of the variable.

for K=1:length(Vb1nicw)
fn = sprintf('Vb1nicw_%d', K);
tempvar = struct(fn, Vb1nicw{K});
fnm = [fn '.mat'];
save(fnm, '-struct', 'tempvar');
end
This will save to files Vb1nicw_1.mat through Vb1nicw_10.mat, using a variable that has the same name as the file name.
You have not been clear as to what filenames you want to use or what variable names you want to use within those files.
