Load the .dat file using the load command. I have a file called
cx.dat in my matlab\work directory.
load cx.dat
who
Your variables are:
cx
Now you can use the save command.
save
Saving to: matlab.mat
Now your data file has been saved to the default name matlab.mat
Later on, if you load matlab.mat using the load command and check to
see what got loaded, it should be your original data file. You can
check this using the "who" command. Hope this helps
