Want to convert .MAT to .TXT

Hello, I have multiple .MAT structures with multiple variable names and long vectors (3000+ of data) that I would like to process such that the data is put into a .TXT file with the variable names as the column header. EX: (i.e. X=[1.90,2.3] , Y=[2.5467,10.87], Z=[3.134,100.98]. So X, Y, Z are the column headers and the data fall underneath each respective column with the DECIMAL places properly aligned on top of each other.

Question:

I there a script that can do what I need?

Please help

Thank you

doc fprintf

should be able to do what you want, but you'll have to put together the format specification yourself and work out how to get decimal places lined up. This isn't usually something that is important in a text file for raw data.

Here is quick way to do that. Using fprint as @Adam says. (This writes with 5 decimal places)

X=[1.90; 2.3];  Y=[2.5467;10.87];  Z=[3.134;100.98];
fid = fopen('example.txt','wt'); 
fprintf(fid, '%s\t %s\t %s\n', 'X','Y','Z');
fprintf(fid,'%0.5f\t %0.5f\t %0.5f\n',[X Y Z]); 
fclose(fid);

You can import it with the headers to excel or whatever.
