Is it possible to write a double-valued matrix/array to a Word (or comma-separated text file) table with a specified format, e.g. a fixed-point notation with a specified number of decimals?
By default, writematrix seems to use "longg (15 digits of precision)" (see Guillaume's comment in
).
Function table2word seems to produce a fixed-point notation with 6 decimal digits, for example 0.999763. Four decimals would be enough for me, to limit the table size in the Word document.

A random matrix:
M = rand(10,10); % matrix to write to file
fn = 'example.csv'; % file to write to
disp(M); % show the matrix for reference

One way to write the file:
fid = fopen(fn,'w');
fprintf(fid,[repmat('%.4f,',1,size(M,2)) '\n'],M.');
fclose(fid);
type(fn); % check the file

Another way:
C = compose('%.4f,',M.');
C(end+1,:) = {newline()};
fid = fopen(fn,'w');
fprintf(fid,'%s',C{:});
fclose(fid);
type(fn); % check the file

You can use fprintf to do that.
fid1 = fopen('filename.csv', 'w');
fprintf(fid1,'%.4f',0.999763425634234234);

Thank you: However, if I use this fprintf function witht eh simple formatting '%.4f' only, all elements in the matrix are strung together into one string instead of forming a matrix in the csv file:
matrix3 = rand(2,3)
matrix3 = 2×3
0.3781 0.9722 0.5639 0.6576 0.4597 0.3789
fid1 = fopen('table3.csv', 'w');
fprintf(fid1, '%.4f', matrix3);
fclose(fid1);
The only value/string in the resulting csv file is (this was from execution in my own Matlab, so the numerical values are different):
0.96490.15760.97060.95720.48540.8003
i.e. six values in '%.4f' format, but all in one single string. If I use instead, for the fprintf line:
fprintf(fid1, '%.4f %.4f %.4f\n', matrix3);
I get two rows/fields above each other in the csv file:
0.9649 0.1576 0.9706
0.9572 0.4854 0.8003
So still not in a comma-separated format that I can import/transfer directly to a Word table. Ah, I now see Voss's answer below including the 'repmat' function to do the matrix/table formatting. Yes, that works. I'll still post my comment here in case it helps anyone else.

For the case of a text file, dlmwrite supports a Precision parameter that can be number of digits or can be a format specification.

Thank you. Your solution would address my issue as well. However, the Matlab help specifically dissuades the use of this function:
dlmwrite is not recommended. Use writematrix instead. For more information, see Compatibility Considerations.
It is a pity that a function, dlmwrite, with more (formatting) options is replaced by one with fewer such options, i.e. writematrix. I notice that "There are no plans to remove dlmwrite.", but the 'not recommended' is still a bit off-putting.
