Thread Subject: how to write struct field into txt file?

Hi there,
  I have a struct a which has fields name, time,bytes,isdir.
  And a.name are cells like
  'data-001-05-26-09.dat
   data-002-00589.dat
   data-3-005-9.dat...........'
   
   
I want to write a.name to a .txt file.

Does anybody has some suggestion?
Thank you.

Hi!
the basic way is to use fopen, fprintf and fclose. You can even write m-files this way.
I got to your post cause I was looking for a function that did it automatically for any structure, but don't know whether it exists.
Best,
Cesare

Some basic struct manipulation:
myStruct(1).name = 'John';
myStruct(2).name = 'Matt';
myStruct(3).name = 'Alexander';

Names = strvcat(myStruct.name)
Names =
John
Matt
Alexander

The same goes for the other fields.
theTimes = [myStruct.time];

Cesare indicated you some fcn for writing your data to .txt.
