An error of using fprintf

Dear All,

When I tried to use fprintf to print numerical data and char in the same row, here is my code:

fprintf(fileID, ' %7d %8d %6d %s %4.2f %s %4.2f %3.1f\r\n', [d1 d2 d3 d4' d5 d6' d7 d8]');

Unfortunately, I obtained the following error message:

Error using fprintf

Unable to convert 'string' value to 'int64'.

Would anyone could tell me how to fix this error?

Thanks a lot.

Printing different variable classes (such as numeric and character), requires a loop:

for k = 1 : something
    fprintf(fileID, '        %7d    %8d    %6d   %s   %4.2f  %s  %4.2f      %3.1f\r\n', [d1(k) d2(k) d3(k) d4(k) d5(k) d6(k) d7(k) d8(k)]);
end 
fclose(fileID);

... or something similar.

Experiment to get the desired result

Using loop is not the cause of the problem. I tried to use loop, I still encountered the same problem.

By the way, using loop is not necessary to print more than 2 rows.

Thanks a lot, anyway.
