I assume that the mat file contains a cell array named, x
x={
0.000000, 0.000000
0.500000, 0.333333
0.250000, 0.666667
0.750000, 0.111111
0.125000, 0.444444
0.625000, 0.777778
0.375000, 0.222222
0.875000, 0.555556
0.062500, 0.888889
0.562500, 0.037037
};
save('the_mat_file.mat','x');
S = load('the_mat_file.mat');
len = size( S.x, 1 );
fid = fopen( 'the_text_file.txt', 'w' );
fprintf( fid, '%s\n', 'x={' );
for jj = 1 : len
fprintf( fid, '( %8.6f %8.6f )\n', S.x{jj,:} );
end
fprintf( fid, '%s\n', '};' );
fclose( fid );
and inspect the result
>> type the_text_file.txt
x={
( 0.000000 0.000000 )
( 0.500000 0.333333 )

In response to comments below
The example above produce a text file with LF as new line separator. (See wiki on Newline). Some editors, e.g. Notepad, requires CRLF as new line separator.
To output CRLF you may modify the the fopen statement as proposed by @Walter or use \r\n explicitly in the print statements as in the code below.
x_array.mat contains a double array, not a cell array as I assumed from your question. The code below should do the job.
S = load('x_array.mat');
len = size( S.x, 1 );
fid = fopen( 'the_text_file.txt', 'w' );
fprintf( fid, '%s\r\n', 'x={' );
for jj = 1 : len
fprintf( fid, '( %8.6f %8.6f )\r\n', S.x(jj,:) );
end
fprintf( fid, '%s\r\n', '};' );
fclose( fid );
