Write multiple vectors into .dat file

I have been working with some data from a recent experiment and would like to move the data into a .dat file. However I have multiple vectors and require them in the same file.

Say I have the vectors:

x = [1, 2, ...];
y = [3, 4, ...];

How would I go about doing this?

Simplest, presuming they're the same length would be to write as 2D array. I'd write as column instead of row..

writematrix([x.' y.'],'yourNewDataFile.dat');

will write a csv file with default precision.

See documentation for more options.
