Thread Subject: Spaced headers with dlmwrite

I am using dlmwrite to create a txt file that is exported
into excel. The txt includes text headers and number
matrices.
So far I have been creating a single text header that
includes all the titles that a line in excel will have,
and spacing the titles manually....
Is there a way to get each title tabbed from the one
preceeding it?
If I use the '\t' option each letter in the title gets a
tab and gets put into a different cell in excel.

Thanks,
Daphne

<SNIP <dlmwrite> conundrum...

one of the solutions

% the data
     fnam='foo.txt'; % <- your data file
     hdr={'a','bb','ccc'};
     m=magic(3);
% the engine
     txt=sprintf('%s\t',hdr{:});
     txt(end)='';
     dlmwrite(fnam,txt,'');
     dlmwrite(fnam,m,'-append','delimiter','\t');
% the result
     type(fnam)

us

Works great. Thanks !
Now I have to re-figure my alignments...
