Hi Anthony,

It is definitely possible to write complex numbers to a text file, but the 
exact syntax depends on how you want to format the numbers.

  1. Do you want to show the numbers as strings using "i" or "j"
     to represent the imaginary unit?  For example:

        2.512 + 3.718i    OR
        2.512 + 3.718j

  2. How do you want the numbers delimited?  In other words, do
     you want to separate each element with a space, a comma, a
     tab, or some other character?

Thanks.

Rick
