What command prompts for file name then creates/opends file?

What syntax would I use to make a script that would prompt the user to choose a file name then create/open that file?

Thank You

Look at uigetfile

[filename, pathname, filterindex] = uigetfile( ...
       {'*.mat','MAT-files (*.mat)'; ...
        '*.mdl','Models (*.mdl)'; ...
        '*.*',  'All Files (*.*)'}, ...
        'Pick a file', ...
        'MultiSelect', 'on');

and uiputfile.

If you don't want an UI option, you can also use input() with the 's' option to input a string and then use fread(), fwrite(), etc. to read and write the file.
