stat = fts2ascii(filename, dates, data, colheads, desc, exttext) writes into an ASCII file filename the dates, times, and data contained in the column vector dates and the column-oriented matrix data. The first column in filename contains the dates, followed by times (if specified). Subsequent columns contain the data. The data in the file is tab delimited.
