fprintf

I'm having a bit of trouble with my fprintf

example :

x = 35
y = column of words
fprintf('%g blah blah blah %s',x,y{:})

fprintf then displays

35 blah blah word1
66 blah blah word2
.
.
.
.

how do i make it so it display

35 blah blah
list of words

Give a better example please. Your example is not even accurate!

[Abra dog]

example

x = 35

y = bunch of words in a column

I want it to display:

35 blah blah blah

column of words

The code i used is

fprintf(%g blah blah %s',x,y{:}

instead of just showing

35 blah blah

column of words

it shows

35 blah blah

1st of the word in y

66 blah blah

2nd word in y

72 blah blah

3rd word in y

and so on

I hope this is a better example.

You have more data than the '%g' and '%s' specified so '%g' and '%s' will be used repeatedly. Apparently, '%g' won't be the right format for strings.

fprintf('%g blah blah\n',x);

fprintf('%s\n',y{:});

Answer 1

[Fangjun Jiang]

doc fprintf or doc sprintf has plenty of examples.

Answer 2

You need 2 FPRINTF commands:

fprintf('%g blah blah blah\n', x);
fprintf('%s\n', y{:});
