Writing to Files:

There are many lower level functions which can write to files. We will focus on the fprintf function that can be used to write a file and also to append to a file.

To write one line at same time in a file, the fprintf function is used. AS similar to the other low-level functions, the file should be opened first for writing and must be closed once the writing has been done. We have, obviously, been using the fprintf to write to the screen. It is the the default output device, therefore if a file identifier is not identified; the output goes to the screen; or else, it goes to the identified file. The default file identifier number is 1 for the screen. The common form is as shown below:

fprintf(fid, 'format', variable(s));
