MATLAB: String to text file

string to text

Hello,
I have a program that produces a very large string array, and I would like to be able to open it in Notepad++. I tried going into Notepad++ to open my file, but when it opened, it looked like gibberish. How can I convert my matlab string array so I can open it in Notepad++?
Thank you

This creates a textfile, which notepadd++ opens. 
v1=str(:,1);
v2=str(:,2);
v3=str(:,3);
T = table( v1,v2,v3 );
writetable( T, 'str.csv' )
as does 
T = table( str(:,1),str(:,2),str(:,3) );
writetable( T, 'str.csv' )
however, this throws an error
>> writetable( table( str ), 'str.csv' )
Error using writetable (line 142)
Unable to perform assignment because the left and right sides have a different number of
elements.
Better control of the format 
%%

cac = str2cell( str );
fid = fopen( 'h:\m\cssm\str.csv', 'w' );
fprintf( fid, '%-24s %-24s %-24s\n', cac{:} );
fclose( fid );
Where (OCR and cleaning)
%%
str = [
