MATLAB: Fprintf don’t print newline character

This works fine for me:

File = fullfile(tempdir, 'TestFile.txt'); 
outfile = fopen(File, 'a');
inputstr = datestr(now, 0);
fprintf(outfile, '%s\n', inputstr);
fclose(outfile);

Does it work for ou? What is the difference to your case? Is inputstr a string or a cell string? You explain, that it "does not work" - but what is happening instead? Do you open the file with the Windows Editor, which is so dull, that it cannot interprete CHAR(10) as line break? Use WordPad or Matlab's editor...

Use fprintf for each line seperatly suing \n at the end.
