To stop the output being interleaved, you need to send all the stuff to be printed as a single message. Here's one way:
q = parallel.pool.DataQueue;
afterEach(q, @multiCprintf);
parfor i=1:1:100
tic
pause(0.5)
time1=toc;
% Send multiple sets of things to print in a cell-of-cells
send(q, {...
{'Reading time: '}, ...
{'Keywords', '%4.1f', time1}, ...
{' seconds\n'}});
end
function multiCprintf(argsCell)
% loop over the outer layer of cells, and call cprintf on
% the inner layers.
for idx = 1:numel(argsCell)
theseArgs = argsCell{idx};
cprintf(theseArgs{:});
end
end
