How to save table (or cell) as file with custom extension?

I have a table that I need to save as a file with a .in extension. The table contains multiple data types (numbers and strings).

writetable (and writecell) do not allow saving with a .in extension. The 'save' function does, but does not save the data properly (saves as unicode, and the program I ultimately need to load the .in file into will not recognize it).

Not a matlab expert by any means, so this may be obvious to some. Would appreciate any help.

"writetable (and writecell) do not allow saving with a .in extension."

Yes they do, but you must explicitly specify the FileType:

writecell({1 'ok' 3},'test.in','FileType','text')

type test.in % show the contents of test.in

1,ok,3

Figured I was completlely overlooking something. Thanks so much.
