-v7.3 switch

Hi everyone~

I had problem saving a large variable (It's a cell. I think the problem is it's very large)

The message is this:

Warning: Variable 'results_all' cannot be saved to a MAT-file whose version is older than 7.3. To save this variable, use the -v7.3 switch.

I couldn't find out how to use the -v7.3 feature. Could somebody help? Thanks a lot~

 save('myFile.mat', '-v7.3') ;

If the file is larger than 2GB then you will have to use 7.3. You can choose the version 7.3 option in the MATLAB preferences. The following article has information about the different formats:
