Re: Writing formatted text files when column number of the ouput is uncertain?

My version is 6.5.1.

The code is running OK now even though I have an older version. Don't know what went wrong before. However, the matrix dimension got changed.

For example, if the dimension of the matrix is 5*9, when exporting it using dlmwrite function, it no longer appears as a 5*9 matrix in the output file. In your example, the 10*10 matrix became one single line in the output. Any way to keep the orginal dimension of matrix in the output?

Thanks,
Stephen

That's what HELP says
"dlmwrite(filename,M,delimiter,R,C) writes matrix A into an ASCII-format file, using delimiter to separate matrix elements...

bad news: you seem to have an older ML version(?)...

in r2007a it says:

DLMWRITE Write ASCII delimited file.
DLMWRITE('FILENAME',M) writes matrix M into
FILENAME using ',' as the delimiter to
separate matrix elements.
DLMWRITE('FILENAME',M,'DLM') writes matrix M into
FILENAME using the character DLM as the
delimiter.
<...>

furthermore, this works as expected

m=magic(10);
dlmwrite('foo.txt',m,'\t');

what version do you use?
what error do you get?
