How can I save each column of a matrix as separate .dat file?

I have a matrix of 40 columns. I want to save separate .dat files for each column. Can anyone help me with it?

Thanks in advance.

Loop over the columns and use indexing.

If you do not know how to use indexing then do the introductory tutorials:

Why do you want to do that? It is probably a bad idea. What are you trying to achieve?

A = rand(10,40) ;

for i = 1:size(A,2)
    filename = strcat('column',num2str(i),'.txt') ;
    c = A(:,i) ;
    save(filename,'c','-ascii')
end
