Hi, please use the help mailing list for requesting help.

To read a string from user input do

fname = input ("Enter filename to save data to: ", "s")

then you can use Octave's save command if that suits your need. Check
the help of input and save using

help input

or

help save

get used to use the "help" command, as well as "lookfor", and the TAB
key. Also always try to use the latest stable release (currently
4.2.1)

Cheers
