MATLAB: How to convert a .mat file into a .csv file

Question

Hello Friends,

I have a .mat file loaded in workspace. I want to convert it into .csv file. It has real entries. I used to convert it before using the following commands without any problem:

M = dlmread('FileName.mat', '\t', 1, 0);
csvwrite('FileName.csv', M)

But now something is wrong with MATLAB. My dataset is the same. Nothing has changed, but now it gives the following error:

Error using dlmread (line 139)
Mismatch between file and format string.
Trouble reading number from file (row 1u, field 1u) ==>

I wonder if MATLAB changed something with dlmwrite function! Please advise.

Answer 1

FileData = load('FileName.mat');
csvwrite('FileName.csv', FileData.M);
