converting .mat to .dat file

Hi everyone....i have recorded some data of some partial discharge in the .mat format. the data contains x and y variables and displays the graph.

i want to convert this information into .dat so that i can use my linux software and sample the data collected.

can someone tell me how to convert this to .dat format.

This should do it. Note: I made a sample mat-file with x,y,a as my variables.

load test.mat
dlmwrite('test.dat',[x y a])

This will write a ASCII format file using the default delimiter (,). You can use another delimiter if you wish.
