Using fprintf, how to print 1.234D+02 instead of 1.234E+02?

1 view (last 30 days)
I'd like to print scientific notations into a file, in the format of FORTRAN. For example, I want to print 1.234D+02 instead of 1.234E+02 into the file. How to realize it? Thank you all~

fprintf only supports e or E.
You will have to either replace the characters after writing the file, or use sprintf and replace the characters before writing the file.

EDIT
As said before, Stephen's answer is the way to go and I had previously posted an erroneous answer. Second try:
mag = @(x) floor(log10(abs(x)));
val = @(x) x./10.^mag(x);
x = [-25, -0.0001, 0, 0.00025, 1.005, 15, 12345];
leftVal = val(x);
leftVal(isnan(leftVal)) = 0;
rightVal = mag(x);
rightVal(rightVal == -Inf | rightVal == Inf) = 0;
sprintf('%.3fD%+03d\n',[leftVal;rightVal])
