Can I use character dot in file name in MATLAB?

Can We use '.' ( dot operator) in a file name?

Answer 1

[MathWorks Support Team]

The ability to use dot in a file name is not available in MATLAB. Because dot is an operater in MATLAB.

There are no workarounds.

Answer 2

[Walter Roberson]

dot cannot be used as part of a m file name (except the final .m), simulink model name, function name, variable name, field name, method name, or property name . It can be used as part of a data file name including as part of a mat file name.
