Display of data side by side

Hi,

I have an output in txt file(notepad) which is displaying all in a single row, instead I want them side by side, following is the code I am using right now:

x1='TORQUE:';

dlmwrite('LTM.txt',x1,'delimiter','','-append','newline','pc');

dlmwrite('LTM.txt',Yout,'-append','newline','pc');

y1='ENGINE SPEED:';

dlmwrite('LTM.txt',y1,'delimiter','','-append','newline','pc');

dlmwrite('LTM.txt',temp2,'-append','newline','pc');

z1='DURATION:';

dlmwrite('LTM.txt',z1,'delimiter','','-append','newline','pc');

dlmwrite('LTM.txt',temp3,'-append','newline','pc');

dlmwrite('LTM.txt',Yout,'delimiter','\t');

Attached is the output file

dlmwrite() adds the line terminator at the end of the last line that you write. When you -append on the next call, it appends to the end -- which is to say after that line terminator.

dlmwrite() cannot be used to append columns to an existing text file. Not even if you use the range inputs: the range input creates a zero-padded matrix and writes or appends that.

You will probably need to use fopen()/fprintf()/fclose() to get the file you want.

Thank you Walter, this one works.

abc=[Yout,temp2]

fileID = fopen('LTM.txt','w');

fprintf(fileID,'%3s %12s %12s\r\n','Torque','EngineSpeed','Duration');

fprintf(fileID,'%6.2f %12.2f\r\n',transpose(abc));

fclose(fileID);
