Saving cell array with strings to a text file.

I'm trying to figure out how to save a chart to a text file. The 'chart' is a cell array that consists of strings. So I have:

a = {'zdfsad' 'xdads' 'zdfsad' 'xdads' 'zdfsad' 'xdads';...
    'shs' 'asdbjv' 'affsa' 'asakj' 'asdbjv' 'affsa';...
    'zdfsad' 'xdads' 'zdfsad' 'asdbjv' 'affsa' 'zdfsad'}
fid = fopen('output','w');
fprintf(fid, 'title\n\n');
fprintf(fid, a{:});
fclose(fid);

But when I run it and use the 'type output' command it merely returns:

title

zdfsad

I'm pretty sure the issue is with my fprintf command but I can't for the life of me figure out how to use it with a cell array containing strings.

Thanks for your help.

a = {'zdfsad' 'xdads' 'zdfsad' 'xdads' 'zdfsad' 'xdads';...
    'shs' 'asdbjv' 'affsa' 'asakj' 'asdbjv' 'affsa';...
    'zdfsad' 'xdads' 'zdfsad' 'asdbjv' 'affsa' 'zdfsad'}
fid = fopen('output.txt','w');
fprintf(fid, 'title\n\n');
str = [repmat('%10s',1,size(a,2)),'\n'];
for ii = 1:size(a,1)
   fprintf(fid,str,a{ii,:});
end
fclose(fid);

Now open the file with wordpad...

Or instead of the loop:

fprintf(fid, str, transpose(a));
