fprintf - Emulator of C language fprintf function

Calling Sequence

fprintf(file,format,value_1,..,value_n)

Parameters

Description

Obsolete function, use preferabily the mfprintf function which is much more compatible with the C fprintf functionalities.

The fprintf function converts, formats, and writes its value parameters, under control of the format parameter, to the file specified by its file parameter.

The format parameter is a character string that contains two types of objects:

Literal characters: which are copied to the output stream.
Conversion specifications: each of which causes zero or more items to be fetched from the value parameter list. see printf_conversion for details

If any values remain after the entire format has been processed, they are ignored.

Examples


u=file('open','results','unknown') //open the result file
t=0:0.1:2*%pi;
for tk=t
 fprintf(u,'time = %6.3f value = %6.3f',tk,sin(tk)) // write a line
end
file('close',u) //close the result file
