increasing precison using fprintf for text file

Name Size Bytes Class Attributes
cellArray 8x4 3840 cell global
% I use below codes to write cellArray into txt file
startingFolder='C:\Program Files\MATLAB';
if ~exist(startingFolder, 'dir');
startingFolder = pwd;
end
defaultFileName=fullfile(startingFolder, '*.txt');
[baseFileName, folder]=uiputfile(defaultFileName, 'Select a file');
if baseFileName == 0
return
end
fullFileName = fullfile(folder, baseFileName);
c=cellfun(@num2str,cellArray,'un',0);
[n,m]=size(c);
form=[repmat('%s ',1,m) ' \r\n'];
fid = fopen(fullFileName, 'w');
for k=1:n
fprintf(fid, form, c{k,:});
end
fclose(fid);
% but data (2-3-4rd columns) are written only 4 numbers after the comma (like, 38.1418). I need to write the data into txt file without rounding.

Doc on num2str says
Specify Formatting
Specify the width, precision, and other formatting for an array of
floating-point values.
A = gallery('uniformdata',[2,3],0) * 9999;
s = num2str(A,'%10.5e\n')
I see but how can I apply this for cellfun?
Replace
@num2str
by
@(str) num2str( str, format_specifier )
or better
>> cellfun( @num2str, {123,34567/3}, {'%d','%18.12f'}, 'uni', false )
ans =
'123' '11522.333333333334'

If you need full precision on all numeric variables and want to use repmat to create your ‘form’ format descriptors, instead of %s, I would use %23.15E. That will print all of them out to full precision.

I tried %23.15E instead of %s but all numeric numbers were converted irrelevant numbers.
I don’t know what you mean by ‘irrelevant’. If you want to print your cell array as you posted it, use:
form = '%5d %23.15E %23.15E %23.15E\n'
when I write form as you wrote instead of form=[repmat('%s ',1,m) ' \r\n']; and when the other codes are same, numbers in the text file look like 5.2E+1, 52 4.8E+1 which are irrelevant the above cellarray data.
Is there a more easy way to write cellArray into text file without rounding?
I would experiment with the ‘form’ string I suggested in my previous Comment.
Strider, put in a nutshell. I'm sorry but I couldn't get it. Could you write the full codes you're suggesting into the above codes (in header). I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
No worries.
The only change I suggested is to use this assignment for ‘form’:
form = '%5d %23.15E %23.15E %23.15E\n';
Experiment with it to see if it works to your satisfaction.
c=cellfun(@num2str,cellArray,'un',0);
[n,m]=size(c);
form = '%5d %23.15E %23.15E %23.15E\n'
fid = fopen(fullFileName, 'w');
for k=1:n
fprintf(fid, form, c{k,:});
end
fclose(fid);
%when I apply these codes as you suggested (if I got it correct), it produces the attached text file.
