16 Jun 2009	Anon	Why do you submit a function that already exists? This function does only a subset of what dlmwrite can do. You may want to improve this function so that it can write cell arrays with mixed data types. Yet, I am quite sure that something like this already exists on the FEX. Moreover, this submission lacks reasonable help and an H1 line. Sorry, but so far I don't see much value in this submission.
17 Jun 2009	Nicolai Sten	I have been looking for the dlmwrite-function for 1½ month now - according to subscriptions on any online fora that I found, I'm not the only one. You won't find it unless you use a search including "ASCII", which I know now. What can I say - it helped me and others, that didn't knew how to find dlmwrite - might be because of the unlogical name (:
19 Jun 2009	Anon	When you and others experienced this problem with finding dlmwrite, than this should encourage you to take even more care to give a good documentation for your function. A good documentation should provide an H1-line (the very first line in the help block of your function) http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/index.html?/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/matlab_prog/f7-41453.html&http://www.google.ch/search?q=h1+line+mathworks&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:de:official&client=firefox-a , a good description and syntax of the function. Moreover, providing an example of the function usage is always a good help for others. dlmwrite might be difficult to find, yet, once found, it still provides a more powerful tool than this function due to its flexibility. Still, it lacks some features such as adding header lines/column names or supporting cell arrays. I'd like to see, that you should built upon these shortcomings and include such functionalities (in case you have the time to do so).
19 Jun 2009	us	as was mentioned above, there is (at least) one FEX submission, which does this - with a lot of options... http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/23840 us
23 Jun 2009	Carlos Adrian Vargas Aguilera	here is another, ;) http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/10243 Carlos
