fid = fopen('hello.txt', 'a+');
fprintf(fid, '%d %d %d\n', v);
fclose(fid);

this overwrote my data it did not add data to the data already there
Change the 'a+' to 'at'
And while you are at it, switch to a more modern text editor ;-)
See, Jan, people do still use WordPad and still need the 't' permissions ;-)
>> !cat hello.txt
2 7 3
2 6 9
>> fid = fopen('hello.txt','at')
fid =
3
>> v = [1 2 3]
v =
1 2 3
>> fprintf(fid, '%d %d %d\n', v);
fclose(fid);
>> !cat hello.txt
2 7 3
2 6 9
1 2 3

Your existing question is still here and still active. Please do not open duplicate questions: it just leads to frustration and confusion.
If you require answers within 10 minutes (as implied by the time between your reply here and the time you opened the duplicate question), then you should be hiring a consultant.
