How to Export Data?

Tom Choi — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 14:16:03 -0400

Hi All,
I have smoothed my data using cfttool, with 'loess'
smoothing. Cfttool shows me the graph of the smoothed data.
However, this is not what I want. What I want is the
individual x and y data values for the smoothed data. How
can I export it onto a text or excel file? All I can get
cfttool to do is to export it onto a struct. array onto the
workspace. I can't get any further than that. Can somebody
help me?

There are so many ways to do what you want to do. For
example if your data set is small you could display it on
the screen with:

disp([analysisresults1.xi, analysisresults1.yfit]);

then select the displayed results with your mouse copy them
and paste them into an editor.

You could assign the results to an array:

a = ([analysisresults1.xi, analysisresults1.yfit];

to make it easy to try various things like:

csvwrite('foo.csv', a);

xlswrite('foo.xls', a);

dlmwrite('foo.txt', a, ' ');

etc
