I have the follwing code, and i wish to convert a table to a .csv format and not a .txt as this code does. The inputfile is a number of tables.
How can i modify this code?
Data = load('INPUTFILEedit.mat');
DataName = fieldnames(Data);
for k = 1:numel(DataName)
ThisName = DataName{k};
ThisData = Data.(ThisName);
tst=ThisData.Date(1:height(ThisData(2:end,2))); % just a sample set to play with
mydates = datetime(tst,'InputFormat','yyyy-MM-dd''T''HH:mm:ss.SSSSSSSSSZ ', ...
'TimeZone','Europe/London','Format','y-MM')
% size(AUDCAD)
ThisData = horzcat(num2cell(mydates), ThisData(2:end,5));
% ThisData.New=ThisData.Close; % make a new column with content of close
% writetable(ThisData,'ThisData','WriteVariableNames',0) % write a text file without header ...
OutputName = [strrep(ThisName, '_', ''),'1d'];
writetable(ThisData,OutputName,'WriteVariableNames',0)
end

Note that .csv files are text files. If you want to save it specifically as a .csv file, tell writetable by including the extension with the filename:
OutputName = [strrep(ThisName, '_', ''),'1d.csv']
I only created and wrote the first one because I didn’t want to have to delete all of them.
So:
AUDCAD1d.csv
exists as:

and appears to me to be a comma-delineated file.
