tblwrite - Write tabular data to file

Syntax

tblwrite(data,varnames,casenames)
tblwrite(data,varnames,casenames,filename)
tblwrite(data,varnames,casenames,filename,delimiter)

Description

tblwrite(data,varnames,casenames) displays the File Open dialog box for interactive specification of the tabular data output file. The file format has variable names in the first row, case names in the first column and data starting in the (2,2) position.

varnames is a string matrix containing the variable names. casenames is a string matrix containing the names of each case in the first column. data is a numeric matrix with a value for each variable-case pair.

tblwrite(data,varnames,casenames,filename) specifies a file in the current directory, or the complete path name of any file in the string filename.

tblwrite(data,varnames,casenames,filename,delimiter) writes to the file using delimiter as the delimiting character. The following table lists the accepted character values for delimiter and their equivalent string values.

The default value of 'delimiter' is 'space'.
