I know you can do format long, but I want it to be specifically 6 decimals.
How do you get a specific decimal accuracy with the fprintf function?

Your r variable needs to be a second argument (not using a plus sign as you did).
r = pi;
fprintf("The estimated principle stress val is %9.6f.\n ",r)
The %9.6f indicates that the output should use 6 decimal places, and field width of 9.
