Matlab: save string in a txt file

I have a long string with a lot of information, some empty rows and combined numbers and text in it. I tried to save it into txt file but it writes me a txt file with strange/unreadable characters:

Here is my code which does not work:

name_log = TPR_E01;
filename = strcat('New_',name_log); 
save ( filename,'newCleanMarker')

Thank you!

save writes binary data by default. You can try the '-ascii' flag, or better still you can print the string to file

fid = fopen( ['New_', name_log], 'w' ); %// open file to writing
fprintf( fid, '%s', newCleanMarker ); %// print string to file
fclose( fid ); %// don't forget to close the file

Please see the following man pages

  • fopen - how to open a file in Matlab.
  • fullfile - a good practice to create file names and paths.
  • save - saving binary data, and the use of '-ascii' flag.
