MATLAB: The first cell is printed in one row and second in two? (fprintf)

fprintfMATLAB

Why the first cell is printed in one row and second in two? I want the second cell to be printed in one row, same as first.

 fprintf('%s,...\n',maCell{:})

Output:

Y_X_mAb,...
g_Gravitational_acceleration
,...

Desired output:

Y_X_mAb,...
g_Gravitational_acceleration,...

The problem is that the data itself contains newline characters (10=\n):

>> +maCell{2}(end)
ans = 10

Remove those characters and you will not have this problem:

maCell = deblank(maCell);

MATLAB: Displaying matrix in .txt file (fprintf)

Just tweaked you code itself a little bit:

fileID=fopen('MyFile.txt','w'); % Open text file for writing
 for k=1:3
        fprintf(fileID,' |%.2f%+.2fi            %10.2f%+.2fi            %10.2f%+.2fi            %10.2f%+.2fi|\r\n',[real(A(k,:));imag(A(k,:))]);
 end
 fprintf(fileID,' |%.2f%+.2fi            %10.2f%+.2fi           %10.2f%+.2fi           %10.2f%+.2fi|\r\n',[real(A(4,:));imag(A(4,:))]);
 fprintf(fileID, '\r\n\r\n\r\n');
fclose(fileID); % Close the file

MATLAB: Reading a textfile without removing leading zeros

If you want to retain the leading zeros, you have to read them in as strings:

filename = 'NWISMapperExport.txt';
fidi = fopen(filename, 'rt');
D = textscan(fidi, '%s%s', 'CollectOutput',1);
Look = D{:}(1:5,2)                              % Check First Five Rows, Second Column
Look =
    5×1 cell array
      {'00152020'}
      {'00500460'}
      {'00501860'}
      {'02380002'}
      {'02380003'}
