how to create csv file with dlmwrite for diffrent vector sizing?

hello, I have sevral of colums vector with different sizes, and I want to write them all to a csv file,in the following way:
for example, vec1=[11,12,13,14], vec2=[21,22,23]; vec3=[31,32,33,34,35,36] the output should be something like this:
line1: 11, 21,31
line2: 12, 22,31
line3: 13, 23,32
line4: 14, ,34
line5: , ,35
line6: , ,36
but instead the output is like this:
11,21,31
12,22,32
13,23,33
14,34
35
36
the code:
vec1=[11,12,13,14]; vec2=[21,22,23]; vec3=[31,32,33,34,35,36];
vec=[];
for i=1:max([length(vec1),length(vec2),length(vec3)])
if (i<=length(vec1))
vec=[vec,vec1(i)];
else vec=[vec,[]];
end
if (i<=length(vec2))
vec=[vec,vec2(i)];
else vec=[vec,[]];
end
if (i<=length(vec3))
vec=[vec,vec3(i)];
else vec=[vec,[]];
end
dlmwrite('test.csv', vec,'-append');
vec=[];
end
I tried replacing "vec=[vec,[]]" in the else with "vec=[vec,NaN]", and it worked, but I dont want to see "NaN" at all in the csv file. is there any other way to keep it blank? for record, I do not know in advance the length of each vector.

"is there any other way to keep it blank?"
Not they way you are trying. Numeric array must contain numeric values, and [] is not a numeric value (it is an empty array). You could write your own export function using low-level operations (i.e. fprintf).
Or just use NaN.

This is not possible using csvwrite or dlmwrite. You will need to fopen / fprintf / fclose.

this is what worked for me in the end:
vec1=[11,12,13,14]; vec2=[21,22,23]; vec3=[31,32,33,34,35,36];
fid = fopen('test.csv', 'w');
if fid == -1, error('Cannot open file for writing.'); end
for i=1:max([length(vec1),length(vec2),length(vec3)])
if (i<=length(vec1))
fprintf(fid,'%g,',vec1(i));
else fprintf(fid,',');
end
if (i<=length(vec2))
fprintf(fid,'%g,',vec2(i));
else fprintf(fid,',');
end
if (i<=length(vec3))
fprintf(fid,'%g,',vec3(i));
else fprintf(fid,',');
end
fprintf(fid,'\n');
end
fclose(fid);

instead of [] you can use 0 , you can omit it later on
else vec=[vec,0];

yes, but I dont want to omit the zeros of vectors (if the contain the value 0)
dlmwrite('test.csv', vec,'delimiter',',','TreatAsEmpty',1,'-append');
