This prints my 6 sets of data as one continuous column of data in a .txt file.
fileID = fopen('nN_10.txt','w');
fprintf(fileID,'%.8f\r\n',X(:,1), X(:,2), X(:,10), X(:,4), X(:,5), X(:,6));
fclose(fileID);
That's fine, I would just like to insert one blank line between each set of data. I imagine the solution is particularly easy but I can't seem to find it anywhere!
Thanks.

Try this:
fprintf(fileID, '%f\n', x(:,1));
fprintf(fileID, '\n');
fprintf(fileID, '%f\n', x(:,2));
fprintf(fileID, '\n');
fprintf(fileID, '%f\n', x(:,3));
fprintf(fileID, '\n');
fprintf(fileID, '%f\n', x(:,4));
fprintf(fileID, '\n');
fprintf(fileID, '%f\n', x(:,5));
fprintf('\n');
fprintf('%f\n', x(:,6));
fprintf('\n');
Also, open the file as 'wt' instead of 'w'. You can probably get rid of the \r then also, but maybe not - it depends on what you use to open the file with (e.g. notepad or wordpad).

If we're done here, can you officially mark as "Accepted" to let others know we're done? Thanks.
