Help with accessing variables outside a function

I am trying to create a function with two inputs: input_data(a,b). The input 'a' will indicate the sampling rate and input 'b' indicates the value. So if it was input_data(30,400), the data will be written to a text file with the value 400 from indexes 1-30. As an example:
1 400
2 400
3 400
4 400
. 400
. 400
. 400
How do i make the function so that everytime i call the function, it appends to the previous list in the text file? I want it to continue incrementing the index values from the previous entry. Thank you.

This is my code for your question
function [] = input_data(a, b)
file = fopen('data.txt', 'a+'); % append data to an existing txt file (Note: 'a' for appending)
A = textread('data.txt');
if (isempty(A))
i = 1;
for i = i:1:a
fprintf( file, '%i %f ', i, b);
i = i + 1;
end
else
start = A( size(A,2) - 2) + 1;
for j = start:1:a+start-1
fprintf( file, ' %i %f ', j, b);
j = j + 1;
end
end
fclose(file);
end
in the main,
>> input_data(2, 400)
>> input_data(2, 400)
>> input_data(3, 300)
In the txt file
1 400.000000 2 400.000000 3 400.000000 4 400.000000 5 300.000000 6 300.000000 7 300.000000
Hope this helps.

If i call the function again with a different a and b value, will the index continue incrementing from the previous value in the text file?
@Victor, I've updated the code. The answer for your comment is Yes. Mark it as solved if you think this works for you.
matlab is telling me to use textscan instead of textread. how do i implement this?
also, if i were to use more than 2 inputs lets say: input_data(a, b, c, d, e). Then the code does not work. 'a' would still indicate the index and 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e' would represent inputted constant values like "400."
I suggest you to make another question that suits your needs. The answer is for your first question.
