How can I save my .mat with a specific name after reading it with hdfread?

Hello

I am currently working with a bunch of HDF files named YYYYMMDD.hdf

Each HDF file contains a matrix with pricipitation values that I need to extract.

whenever I run

hdfread("YYYYMMDD.HDF","precipitaiton")

On my workspace I end up with a file name ans.mat . I would like to be able to change the name in which this file is saved to match, if possible, my YYYYMMDD format, so YYYYMMDD.mat.

Thanks in advance.

data = hdfread("YYYYMMDD.HDF","precipitaiton");
save("YYYYMMDD.mat","data");
