Is there a code to take values from the fprintf ?

fprintf('% 5d %8.3i %8.3i\n',i,strain,stress)

is there a code that can extract the last column of my fprint? the stresses?

thank you very much in advance

Since you are printing to the Command Window and not a file, likely not.

However ‘stress’ is obviously in your workspace, so there is no need for you to extract it. Just use the value you have.

Assuming your current loop looks like this

for i=1:n
    % some calculations here
    stress = (some expression);
end

you would change stress to a vector, e.g.

stress = zeros(1,n);
for i=1:n
    % some calculations here
    stress(i) = (some expression);
end

James Tursa — Thank you!

I’d not considered that possibility.

@Star: I was actually responding to a comment made by OP, which has since been deleted for some reason.

Interesting. I never saw it, so I didn’t delete it.
