fprintf: writing text lists to .txt files

I need some help exporting some text lists in cell arrays to .txt functions. I have a list of names in an n x 1 array, called 'assets'. I would like to export it to a .txt file ('assets.txt'). My code currently states:

    fid = fopen('assets.txt', 'w');
    for row = 1:length(assets)
        fprintf(fid, '%s\n', assets(row));
    end
    fclose(fid)

I get this error message: "Function is not defined for 'cell' inputs." What am I doing wrong?

You have to change round brackets into curly brackets:

assets = {'first','second','third','fourth'};
fid = fopen('assets.txt', 'w');
for row = 1:length(assets)
    fprintf(fid, '%s\n', assets{row});
end
fclose(fid);

It took a while for me to get back to this, but: thanks, that did the trick.

Probably:

fprintf(fid, '%s\n', assets{row});

...Ok, let me rephrase. How do I need to phrase my code to write my list to a .txt file?
