      This is MATLAB, so there really is no point in using an ugly loop when you can do it much faster and simpler with just one csvwrite call:
csvwrite('test.csv',M)
M = [...
  0.0000,0.0000,0.0000;...
  0.0000,0.1000,0.0000;...
  0.0643,0.0675,0.0000;...
  0.1000,0.0000,0.0000;...
  0.0000,0.2000,0.0000;...
  0.2000,0.0000,0.0000;...
  0.0725,0.1500,0.0000;...
  0.1488,0.0873,0.0000;...
  0.0726,0.2501,0.0000;...
  0.0000,0.3000,0.0000;...
  0.0000,0.4000,0.0000;...
  0.3000,0.0000,0.0000;...
  0.4000,0.0000,0.0000];
%
fid = fopen('test.csv','wt');
fprintf(fid,'%f,%f,%f\n',M.')
fclose(fid);

        %example code  
s = rand(10,3);
  fileID = fopen('a.txt','w');
  for i=1:length(s)
    fprintf(fileID,'%g\t%g\t%g \r\n',s(i,:));
  end
  fclose(fileID);

        fh = fopen('newFile.txt','w');
for i=1:size(myData,1)
  fprintf(fh,'%d %d %d\n',a(i,1),a(i,2),a(i,3))
end

        dlmwrite('test.csv', M, 'delimiter', ' ');
or if you want to specify the precision
dlmwrite('test.csv', M, 'delimiter', ' ', 'precision', '%6.4f');
