Writing to a text file

Hi All, I want to save a matrix in a text file. fprintf and fwrite both create the .txt file in ASCII format which is not what I want. This is what I've got:

Cyle=[1 2 3];

fid=fopen('Output.txt','w');

fprintf(fid,char(Cyle),'char'); %// or fwrite(fid,char(Cyle),'char');

fclose(fid);

Is there a way around it?

Also, can I add a comment on the first line of the text file?

Thanks Sina

If you don’t want to save it as an ASCII file, use the save function to save it as a binary file. You can also save the comment.

Example:

Cyle=[1 2 3];
Comment = 'I really like the way MATLAB solved this problem!';
save('MyData.mat', 'Comment', 'Cyle')

or alternatively:

save MyData.mat Comment Cyle
