It did what I wanted it to do. It saves some time because you don't have to deal with opening and closing files, which sometimes gets hung up on my machine. It would be nice if it could handle mixed data types.

Thanks.

[Jeremy Short]

This will be saving me a ton of time. The script I wrote was taking at least 10 times longer.

If the text files you are writing using dlmwrite are too big due to unnecessary ASCII spaces, then this function will fix your problem. Good work.
