How can I save files (as fig and png) according to my user input? When running multiple tests.

I am testing a sensor, through GUI and MatLab is processing the data.

I have the following code to get the user input.

num_folders=input('number: ');

And this code to save the data:

 saveas(h88, [findir '/freq_respondse.png'])
    saveas(h88, [findir '/freq_respondse.fig'])
    if (sw_show_td==1)
        saveas(h11, [findir '/time_domain.png'])
        saveas(h11, [findir '/time_domain.fig'])
    end

How can I add the input as a number to fre_respondse ? so that if the user input is 15, the file name of .fig or .png will also be saved as 15, depending on the user input.

Please help.

outname = fullfile(findir, sprintf('freq_respondse_%d.png', num_folders) );
saveas(h88, outname);

Thank you so much for your answer!

   outname = fullfile(findir, sprintf('freq_respondse_%d.png', num_folders) );
    saveas(h88, outname);

    outname = fullfile(findir, sprintf('freq_respondse_%d.fig', num_folders) );
    saveas(h88, outname);

    if (sw_show_td==1)
        outname = fullfile(findir, sprintf('/time_domain_%d.png', num_folders) );
        saveas(h11, [findir '/time_domain_%d.png', num_folders] );
        saveas(h11, outname);

        outname = fullfile(findir, sprintf('/time_domain_%d.fig', num_folders) );
        saveas(h11, [findir '/time_domain_%d.fig', num_folders] );
        saveas(h11, outname);
    end

I then used the outname and it works for the frequency response, but when i try to save it for time domain it doesnt work. says it gives me an error with

Error Unsupported format or extension: png line: 179line: 286 Error Unsupported format or extension: png line: 179line: 286 >>

Get rid of your

         saveas(h11, [findir '/time_domain_%d.png', num_folders] );

and

          saveas(h11, [findir '/time_domain_%d.fig', num_folders] );
