I have a problem with printing an array of strings, which I'd like to print to a txt file. The problem is I can't put spaces between elements. My new lines don't work neither.
Here's a snipped of my code:
out3 = fullfile('D:\new.txt');
fid1 = fopen(out3,'a');
for i = 1:Numb_of_folds
pattern = nameFolds1(i);
TF = startsWith(files,pattern);
Z = files(TF);
Z = cellstr(Z.');
fprintf(fid1,'\n');
fprintf(fid1,'%s %s\n\r %s',Z{:});
fprintf(fid1,'\n');
%fprintf(fid1,'%s\n\r',pattern);
%fclose(fid1);
end
fclose(fid1);
winopen(out3)
'Numb_of_folds' - number of times I need to begin from the new line.
The 'files' variable is array of strings which I need to print.
I am checking if some of them begins with the specified pattern, we print on one line.
The problem is it prints it like :
DYT01_OFF DYT02_OFF DYT03_OFFDYT04_OFF DYT06_OFF DYT07_OFFDYT13_OFF
These two strings I use, but I don't know why. I just read that I need this.
Z = cellstr(Z.');
Z{:}

On windows machine you should use "\r\n" for new line and for tabs you can use "\t"

Alternately, instead of opening
fid1 = fopen(out3,'a');
you can
fid1 = fopen(out3,'at');
If you do that, then on WIndows machines, each \n you output will be automatically translated to \r\n
