How to combine sprintf and fprintf

Hello everyone,
Here's what I want to do :
-I use fprintf to print a sentence with new lines inside, for example:
text=sprintf('%s \n %s',sentence1,sentence2);
-Then I want to save it in a .txt file with this :
file=fopen(sprintf('%s%s%s',filepath,filename,'.txt'),'w');
fprintf(file,'%s',text);
It displays what I wrote except the new line : I have in my file sentence1sentence2
Any idea on how to fix this problem?
Thank you!

How do you test if there is no newline? You write the file in binary mode, such that CHAR(10) is used as line break. All editors I know can handle this correctly, but not the standard "Editor" of Windows. So please open the file in WordPad or Matlab's editor also.
I leave it up to others to mention the 'wt' method for fopen, because I usually warn for the eventually unexpected side-effects.
