## @deftypefnx {Function File} {[@var{fname}, @var{fpath}, @var{fltidx}] =} uiputfile (@var{flt}, @var{dialog_name}, @var{default_file})
## Open a GUI dialog for selecting a file.  @var{flt} contains a (list of) file
## filter string(s) in one of the following formats:
##
## @table @code
## @item "/path/to/filename.ext"
## If a filename is given the file extension is
## extracted and used as filter.
## In addition the path is selected as current path and the filename is selected
## as default file.
## Example: uiputfile("myfun.m");
##
## @item "*.ext"
## A single file extension.
## Example: uiputfile("*.ext");
##
## @item @{"*.ext","My Description"@}
## A 2-column cell array containing the file extension in the 1st column and
## a brief description in the 2nd column.
## Example: uiputfile(@{"*.ext","My Description";"*.xyz","XYZ-Format"@});
## @end table
##
## The filter string can also contain a semicolon separated list of filter
## extensions.
## Example: uiputfile(@{"*.gif;*.png;*.jpg", "Supported Picture Formats"@});
##
## @var{dialog_name} can be used to customize the dialog title.
## If @var{default_file} is given it is preselected in the GUI dialog.
## If, in addition, a path is given it is also used as current path.
## @end deftypefn
