How to set column and row index of .txt-file for the use of dlmwrite - text editor doesnt show the right column and row index

Hello,

i have a problem concerning dlmwrite. I basically just want to write a matrix into a .txt file. Matlab recognizes the right number of column and rows when reading, the .txt editor however, doesnt. The editor fills up each row.

[FileName,PathName] = uigetfile('*.txt', 'Open text file','MultiSelect','on'); data = zeros(1043,2,length(FileName)) ;

   for i = 1:length(FileName)                                                   
       file = load(fullfile(PathName,FileName{i})); 
       data(:,:,i) = file;
   end

   data_mean=zeros(1043,2);
   data_mean=mean(data(:,:,:),3);

   dlmwrite('test.txt',data_mean,'delimiter',' ');

I hope I was specific and someone might know what my problem is. I just want to see the right number of columns and rows in the .txt editor

It is likely the newline character is not being recognized. Consider adding a newline name-value pair to your dlmwrite command.

dlmwrite('test.txt',data_mean,'delimiter',' ','newline','pc');

It works for me (on a pc).
