Printing data to text file

I am using the fprintf command to store the contents of a .mat file to a .txt. The .mat file contains strings. My code prints the data in the same column.

fid = fopen('exp.txt','wt');
for i=1:275
    fprintf (fid,classes{i}{1})
end
fclose(fid);

When I use the \n and the '\r\n' options, they doesn't print anything to the file. I'd appreciate the help!

Some text editors will show those new line characters and some wont. This happens because of different standards followed by different softwares and operating systems for eg:

end of line sequences
Windows end of line sequence:  \r\n
Unix end of line sequence: \n
Mac end of line sequence: \r

So if you really want good human readable formats, either fix your operation system/software and use characters friendly for that system, or if you want uniformity in the reports, better write files in standard HTML formats :) adding a "br" tag and naming file .html is as simple as writing out '\n' and naming it .txt!
