generally it will be saved at the place where you are with octave.
just type 'ls' to see where you are.

however....what did this do?

% Windows
exportpath = 'e:\folder1/projectb';
b=rand(3,3);
csvwrite(sprintf('%s/test.csv', exportpath),b)

% Linux
exportpath = '/home/marques/Downloads/';
b=rand(3,3);
csvwrite(sprintf('%s/test.csv', exportpath),b)
