Is the file existing and/or open already?

Perhaps this helps:
fid = fopen(FileName, 'a');
fprintf(fid, '\nNew message in new line\n');
fclose(fid);
See also:
doc fopen
doc fwrite
doc fprintf

fid = fopen(filename,writeaccess);
fseek(fid, ...)
fwrite(fid,['Hi' 13 10 'World'],'char');
...
fclose(fid)
Thats the code to open a text file, seek to a position in the file (needed if you are APPENDING), and writes "Hi", new line, "World", and then closes the file. That is the low-level way of doing it, there are dedicated text writing functions that may suit your need better.

While CHAR([13, 10]) are the old DOS line breaks, all modern software as Matlab's editor, Word, other editors handle CHAR(10) also. This works on many platforms today and only the Windows Editor cannot handle this correctly, such that I'd recommend to use either WordPad or NotePad++ as standard editor.
