MATLAB: Print a matrix in output file

matrix

Good morning\evening

I tried to print a result matrix R in an output file.

fprintf(fid,'%.3f\t\n %.3f\t\n %.3f\t\n',R);

Actually, the output prints the matrix row by row.

Can you help me?

Regards, Ayda

Each of the \n in the formats indicates that you want to start a new line.

The \t you have indicate that you want a tab before the newline; that would be somewhat unusual.

Anyhow, you should use R.' (the transpose of R) as the argument to fprintf() instead of just R

fileID = fopen('vp.txt','wt');
fprintf(fileID,'%.15g\n',V);
fclose(fileID);

Note that this will create 268435456 lines of about 17 characters each, for a total of approximately 4.25 gigabytes. You might prefer a different format though. For example would you prefer a comma separated file with 16384 columns per line? Would you prefer engineering notation?

No. But you can repmat() a format string the number of times you want. You will usually want to add \n on. For example,

fmt = [repmat('%5.2f', 1, 10), '\n'];
fprintf(fid, fmt, output.' )

Notice the .' after "output". If "output" is a 2D array with 10 columns, then you need to transpose that to be 10 rows to get the values to print out in column formats. It is not intuitive, but it is entirely consistent with the way MATLAB accesses arrays.
