How to save an unsaved function with your script?

1 view (last 30 days)
When running the Import data wizard and selecting the "generate MATLAB Code" box, a new function is created:
function [newData1] = importfile2(fileToRead1)
newData1 = importdata(fileToRead1);
Is there any way to save this function with the command window? So far it is called Untitled6 but not saved yet.
I can find it with
matlab.desktop.editor.getAll
Untitled_F=f(7) % the 7th open function is my "Untitled6" function
which gives me:
Untitled_F =
Document with properties:
Filename: 'Untitled6'
Opened: 1
Language: 'MATLAB'
Text: 'function [newData1] = importfile2(fileToRead…'
Selection: [11 1 11 1]
SelectedText: ''
Modified: 1
Editable: 1
but how can I save it now? Thanks for your help!

Why is simply clicking "Save As" in the Editor not an option?

The final script shall be a tool for physicists in the lab who want to plot their measurements quickly and in a consistent way. Thus I want to minimize the user Inputs and make it comprehensable for anyone.

Use the save or saveAs methods of the object Untitled_F. Since this is an Untitled buffer, I'd recommend saveAs.
help matlab.desktop.editor.Document.saveAs
For more information about the other methods and properties available in this API, look for help on matlab.desktop.editor.Document or matlab.desktop.editor.
help matlab.desktop.editor.Document
help matlab.desktop.editor
