Hi,

I'm trying to append words onto a preexisting .txt file. For example, my original a.txt file:

Jo  9
Tom 10
Jon 
Tim 12

And I want to append these values:

ntxt={
'Henry 34'
'Bob 3'
'Jim '
}

so that it produces:

Jo  9
Tom 10
Jon 
Tim 12
Henry 34
Bob 3
Jim 

I have tried the code:

s=textread(a,'%s', 'delimiter','\n','whitespace','');
Final=[s;ntxt];
dlmwrite(fnam,char(Final), 'delimiter', '');

However, this gives me very strange formating. I need the txt file to have things listed like:

Jo  9
Tom 10
Jon 
Tim 12
Henry 34
Bob 3
Jim 

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
