How to store an object (calculated in a function) so that we can use it later with a different script?

So basically I have a script that calculates a lot of stuff, and in the process it creates an object that is not stored/saved in the command window's workspace. I have no way to use it unless I add code to the existing scripts.

I would like to feed that object to another script.

How can I store/save this object so that I can re-use it in the future?

Typically people use MAT files for this.

a = rand(10);
b = rand(12);

save myMat a b

clear all

load myMat

Hope that this helps

Here is official example off their website

Save MAT

How would you store an object though? That only works for variables.

If you have the class definition in the path then it will work, if I am not mistaken.

That's correct Gareth.
