Look at this example

% How to write a .dat file
A=[1 2 3;4 5 6]
fid=fopen('file1.dat','w')
fwrite(fid, A)
fclose(fid)

% How to read a dat file
fid=fopen('file1.dat','r')
B=fread(fid,[2,3])
fclose(fid)

thanks alot.good one. but there is a question: the path for the specified file is the current MATLAB one?

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

You can specify any path you want

fid=fopen('D:\path\file1.dat','w')
