Writematrix loses precision with string present in data
显示 更早的评论
I am saving a matrix to file and need full precision in the data. I am using the writematrix function, and my problem can be shown in this minimal example:
writematrix([1;0.123456789],"./testA.txt")
writematrix(["Test";0.123456789],"./testB.txt")
Then testA.txt:
1
0.123456789
And testB.txt
Test
0.12346
Is there a way to have strings (such as a header row) in my matrix but retain the full precision in the data?

writematrix(["Test";compose("%.999g", 0.123456789)],"./testB.txt")
dbtype testB.txt
Retains full precision.

["Test";0.123456789]
The problem, if there is one, is in combining the string and the numeric into one array; MATLAB can have only one data type in an array other than a cell array and so the numeric value was coerced to a string before it was written; ergo, it isn't writematrix that is the issue here, it's trying put a square peg in a round hole; mixing data types inappropriately.
Probably the easiest workaround with the minimal example would to use a table instead...
tT=table(0.123456789,'VariableNames',"Test")
writetable(tT,"testB.txt",'WriteVariableNames',1)
type testB.txt
