MATLAB Programming

Exporting Text Data
By default, if you do not specify a delimiter, dlmwrite uses a comma as a
delimiter. You can specify a space (' ') as a delimiter or, if you specify empty
quotes (''), no delimiter.
Using the diary Function to Export Data
To export small numeric arrays or cell arrays, you can use the diary function.
diary creates a verbatim copy of your MATLAB session in a disk file
(excluding graphics).
For example, if you have the array A in your workspace,
A = [ 1 2 3 4; 5 6 7 8 ];
execute these commands at the MATLAB prompt to export this array using
diary:
1 Turn on the diary function. You can optionally name the output file diary
creates.
diary my_data.out
2 Display the contents of the array you want to export. This example displays
the array A. You could also display a cell array or other MATLAB data type.
A =
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
3 Turn off the diary function.
diary off
diary creates the file my_data.out and records all the commands executed
in the MATLAB session until it is turned off.
A =
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
