FAPPENDL

from FAPPENDL by Mukhtar Ullah
FAPPENDL Write line to file in an intuitive syntax rather than FPRINTF

fappendl(fid, varargin)
function fappendl(fid, varargin)
% FAPPENDL Write line to file
%  
%  FAPPENDL(FID, ARG1, ARG2, ...) is the same as
%  FPRINTF(FID, '%s\n', [ARG1, ' ', ARG2, ' ', ...]) and hence provides an
%  intuitive syntax for writing lines to a file. When all you need is write
%  a single line to a file, the original syntax provided by FPRINTF becomes
%  quite cumbersome. The best way is illustrate by an example. 
%
%  First write a file 'fname1.tex' using FPRINTF:
%
%     pgffile = 'drawing.pgf';
%     fid = fopen('fname1.tex', 'w');
%     fprintf(fid, '%s\n', '\documentclass{article}');
%     fprintf(fid, '%s\n', '\usepackage{pgf}');
%     fprintf(fid, '%s\n', '\begin{document}');
%     fprintf(fid, '%s\n', ['\input{', pgffile, '}']);
%     fprintf(fid, '%s\n', 'Sample text');
%     fprintf(fid, '%s\n', 'Sample math $\langle X(t)\rangle$');
%     fprintf(fid, '%s\n', '\end{document}');
%     fclose(fid);
%
%  Then write another file 'fname2.tex' with the same content but using
%  FAPPENDL:
%
%
%     fid = fopen('fname2.tex', 'w');
%     fappendl fid \documentclass{article}
%     fappendl fid \usepackage{pgf}
%     fappendl fid \begin{document}
%     fappendl(fid, ['\input{', pgffile, '}'])
%     fappendl fid Sample text
%     fappendl fid Sample math $\langle X(t)\rangle$
%     fappendl fid \end{document}
%     fclose(fid);
%


if ischar(fid)
    fid = evalin('caller', fid);
end

if nargin < 3
    fprintf(fid, '%s\n', varargin{:});
else
    args = cellfun(@(x) [char(x), ' '], varargin, 'UniformOutput', false);
    fprintf(fid, '%s\n', deblank([args{:}]));
end
