I have 31 column in text file. I am trying to write new (32nd) column in existing text file. By using append the new column is placed at the end of text file. Any suggestions to write new column please...

As far as i know, there is no possability of writing in the middle of a file and have the rest of the data just shift along (correct me if im wrong).
So i guess your best choice here would be to read to old file into memory, append your new data to every line (so it will be a new column) and then overwrite the old file.

Hmmm, i guess fgetl would be usefull here.
fid=fopen('original.txt');
fidNew=fopen('newTxt.txt','w+');
newCol ='451';
cntr=1;
while(true)
line = fgetl(fid); %fgetl does not return the /n character
if line==-1 %line==-1 indicates end of file.
break;
end
fprintf(fidNew,line);
fprintf(fidNew,[' ',newCol(cntr),'\n'] );
cntr=cntr+1;
end
fclose(fid);
fclose(fidNew);
To do this without creating a new file, you must store line + the additional characters in e.g a cell matrix. Then close the old file, re open it using the 'w+' command and do another loop to write out the cell.
There might be alot of other ways to do this but atleast this way you can easily see what is actually being done.
Hope this gets you on your way towards what you need =)
