Thread Subject:

fprintf column wise

Hello !

my code generates three arrays of results namely RM, rf and rp
I want to export these results to a single txt file separated by columns.

Matlab prints all results in one single column and I don't know how to separate each result column wise.
This didn't help as well.

fprintf(fid, 'RM = [%6.5f] \n\c',RM)
fprintf(fid,'rf = [%6.5f] \n\c',rf)
fprintf(fid,'rp = [%6.5f] \t\c',rp)

neither this;

fid = fopen('particle_location.txt','wt');
formatSpecifier = repmat('%6.5f\t', 1, size(fid, 3));
formatSpecifier = [formatSpecifier '\n'];
fprintf(fid,'observed particles \n\n')
fprintf(fid, formatSpecifier, RM.')
fprintf(fid, formatSpecifier, rf.')
fprintf(fid, formatSpecifier, rp.')
fclose(fid)

any advise is highly appreciated !

thanks heaps!

I am so dumb with Matlab.
I cant understand how to use the cprintf syntax to get what I wanted.

on the other hand did you understand my question.

appreciate your advise with a nice explanation :)

If you're looking for output in single columns, such as:

   RM rf rp
.xxxxx .xxxxx .xxxxx
.xxxxx .xxxxx .xxxxx
...

I'd suggest concatenating your results into a single matrix. fprintf prints
the values in column order, but you want to specify rows of output, so make
sure that the matrix looks like the transpose of the file you want to print.

For example, if RM, rf, and rp are all row vectors:

results = [RM; rf; rp];
fid = fopen('particle_location.txt','wt');

% headers
fprintf(fid, 'observed particles \n\n');
fprintf(fid, '%6s\t%6s\t%6s\t\n', 'RM', 'rf', 'rp');

% tab-separated columns of results
fprintf(fid, '%6.5f\t%6.5f\t%6.5f\n', results);

fclose(fid);

wow Leslie!! you understood me!!
you are the man !

thanks a lot..

Hi, I'm trying to print to a text file in one column so I can export this data into labview. But, I had trouble finding the syntax to do this.

Here's the code I have.

% Open a file for writing
fid = fopen('test_002.txt', 'wt');
% print values in one column (now rows)
fprintf(fid, '%f\c', data2);
fclose(fid);

Thanks in advance.
