how to open mat file that contains DOT

During my program, I saved matfile with following name

experiment_1.1_test.mat

but when I try to load I receive following error. Number of columns on line 1 of ASCII file

/home/aravin/matlab_code/experiment_1.1_test.mat
must be the same as previous lines.

and when I save same file without DOT

ex: experiment_1_1_test.mat

it works fine.

Actually, now experiment_1.1_test.mat contains processing of 5 days, so i want that to be opened. Any solution.

Have you tried:

load('experiment_1.1_test.mat','-mat')

That will force MATLAB to treat it as a .mat file instead of an ascii file.
