Appending data to a mat file in MATLAB

I have a mat file with some data and i want to add additional data at the end of file whenever a function is called. How can i do it? By save -append my existing data is overwritten. But for me data should not be overwritten. Reply as early as possible.

You've given no information about the type of data you are storing, but I suspect you might be trying to append values to an array which is stored in a file using -append; however, -append only adds new variables to a file. If you save a variable with the same name, it will overwrite it. Instead, just do the append manually:

I'll assume that we are talking about a 1xn vector, you can adjust the concatenation step as necessary.

x = load('myfile');
x = [ x newX ];
save('myfile', 'x');
