Trying to get text file to align properly for data table

uData is a 30x5 matrix with numbers. name_Database is a 30x1 cell array with strings of Names (e.g. Fake Subject 1, Fake Subject 2, Bob). What would fix the code so that the data aligns? (please see image for the misalignment).

ID = dbedit.uData(:,1);
scE = dbedit.uData(:,2);
ccE = dbedit.uData(:,3);
scC = dbedit.uData(:,4);
ccC = dbedit.uData(:,5); 
names = dbedit.name_Database;

% Text file to output data into is called uDatabase.txt file.
output_file = 'uDatabase.txt'; 

% Open file for writing
fid = fopen(output_file, 'w+'); 

% Header
fprintf(fid, '%6s %12s %18s %24s %30s %36s\n', 'Name', 'ID', 'scE',...
    'ccE', 'scC', 'ccC');

% Write the data.
for ii=1:numel(names)
    fprintf(fid, '%6s %12.0f %18.0f %24.0f %30.0f %36.0f\n',names{ii},...
    ID(ii),scE(ii),ccE(ii),scC(ii),...
    ccC(ii));
end

% Close the .txt file. 
fclose(fid);

Text file:

One simple fix may be just to expand the field that writes the names to 15 or more characters:

fprintf(fid, '%16s %12.0f %18.0f %24.0f %30.0f %36.0f\n',names{ii},...
    ID(ii),scE(ii),ccE(ii),scC(ii),...
    ccC(ii));

changing the ‘%6s’ to ‘%16s’, for example.

Thank you very much. That idea worked.
