How can I have precise coordinates

I am working with a LiDAR point cloud data and I developed a code to get each individual strip. I developed the following code.
clc;clear;
% This code will create the files for each individual strip for the given
% point cloud.
% Strip1
Point_Cloud = load('082o01a12.txt'); % Given Point Cloud
Strip_Info = unique(Point_Cloud(:,5)); % Get the Point_Source_Data which is the strip information
Point_Data_1 = find(Point_Cloud(:,5)==Strip_Info(1)); % Find points that correspond to Strip 1
Strip_1 = Point_Cloud(Point_Data_1,1:4); % Individual Strip
dlmwrite('Strip1.txt', Strip_1); % This will create a txt file to be able to use on Cloud Compare
Once I get a txt file of the data strip I have coordinates like 7.000e+03 and I want the exact coordinates. How can I do that?

dlmwrite('Strip1.txt', Strip_1, 'Precision', '%.16g'); % This will create a txt file to be able to use on Cloud Compare

So, if I want to load the file, I have to write the same notation (file = load('file.txt', 'Precision', '%.16g'))?
No, you do not need to specify precision at the time you load.

Thank you, it worked!
