I need to write a string and a table to one text file. The string contains a description of the data in the table, but is not the headers for the table. I am using R2019a which I guess means the "Append" writetable option does not work? Please see my example data below:
% Load data
load cereal.mat;table = table(Calories, Carbo, Cups, Fat, Fiber, Mfg, Name, Potass);string = {'This is a string about the cereal table'};filename = "dummyoutput.sfc";% How I tried to do this (which does not work!)
fid = fopen(filename, 'w', 'n');fprintf(fid, '%s', cell2mat(string))fclose(fid);writetable(table, filename, 'FileType', 'text', 'WriteVariableNames', 0, 'Delimiter', 'tab', 'WriteMode', 'Append')
I get this error (because 'WriteMode' was introduced in R2020a)
Error using writetable (line 155)Wrong number of arguments.
Does anyone have a workaround for this?
Thanks!
