This function saves all the variables in the base workspace except those in a given list of variables

Input Variables:

• vargin1 = except_variables
• vargin2 = databases_directory1
• vargin3 = database_filename_SAE

Variable definition:

except_variables = the variable that has all the variables not to save.

• variables must be separated by either empty space (blanks), commas, and/or semi- colons
• the series of variables must begin with a single quotation mark and end with a single quotation mark
• Example: except_variables = 'i_dont_want_this_variable1 i_dont_want_this_variable2;i_dont_want_this_variable3 i_dont_want_this_variable4, i_dont_want_this_variable5'

databases_directory1 = the path where to save the workspace variables.

• Last character in path must be a backslash
• Example: databases_directory1 = 'C:\MATLAB Files\Databases\'

database_filename_SAE = the filename of the .mat file (including the .mat extension) of all the saved workspace variables

• extension must be .mat
• saves files with the .mat version (type) of "-v7.3". User can manually change this in the code below if desired.
