How to properly align output text in command window?

I use fprintf to print data in command window ( A-data vector, f-data matrix)

 for br=1:n
    fprintf('\n  %4.2f ',A(br));
    fprintf('  %4.0f ',f(br,:));
 end

and get this:

365.00    962    995   1027   1058   1089   1120   1150   1179   
367.00    973   1006   1038   1070   1101   1132   1162   1192   
296.50    635    656    677    698    719    739    759    778    
96.50     67     70     72     74     76     78     80     82

but, I need it like (nice aligned)

365.00    962    995   1027   1058   1089   1120   1150   1179   
367.00    973   1006   1038   1070   1101   1132   1162   1192   
296.50    635    656    677    698    719    739    759    778    
96.50      67     70     72     74     76     78     80     82

Any suggestions? tnx

One solution is to use enough characters in your fixed-width format, so that the strings that get fprintf'ed are exactly the same width:

A = [365 367 296.5 96.5];
f = [962 995 1027 1058 1089 1120 1150 1179; ...
     973 1006 1038 1070 1101 1132 1162 1192; ...
     635 656 677 698 719 739 759 778; ...
     67 70 72 74 76 78 80 82];
n = size(f,1);

for br=1:n
    fprintf('\n  %6.2f ',A(br));
    fprintf('  %6.0f ',f(br,:));
end
