I'm trying to copy the content of the following cell into a text file.
I'm using the following code:
[maxrow, maxcolumn]=size(MyCell);
id = fopen('filename.txt','w+t');
if id<0
error('could not open file');
end
for ro =1:maxrow
for co =1:maxcolumn
fprintf(id,'%10s',MyCell{ro,co});
end
fprintf('\n')
end
fclose(id)
But I'm getting this error:
"Error using fprintf
Function is not defined for 'cell' inputs."
Any help?
Thanks!

Replace MyCell{ro,co} with something that makes sure you access the contents. From your screenshot it is difficult to tell what that syntax should be.

@Rik the the cell is linked below. Its called R1. It contains many 1 by 1 cells only.

The code below works, but it is probably better to define your FormatSpec in such a way that you can print your data line by line .
S=load('MATLAB Cell to Text.mat');MyCell=S.R1;
[maxrow, maxcolumn]=size(MyCell);
id = fopen('filename.txt','w+t');
if id<0
error('could not open file');
end
for ro =1:maxrow
for co =1:maxcolumn
data=MyCell{ro,co};
if isa(data,'cell')
%assume a nested cell with a char array
fprintf(id,'%10s',data{1});
else
%assume a numeric type
fprintf(id,'%.2f',data);
end
end
fprintf(id,'\n');
end
fclose(id);

Having data helps...to achieve the objective in the easiest way w/o writecell, use the intermediary of converting to a table...
writetable(cell2table(R1),'celldata.txt')
results in the file containing...
>> tR1=cell2table(R1);
>> writetable(tR1(1:10,:),'celldat.txt')
>> type celldat.txt
R11,R12,R13,R14,R15,R16,R17

for a small section.
If there's intent and/or need to do something with the data other than just create a text file from it, it would probably be best to go back to the point at which the content was created and do something differently there -- probably when the data were read from their source as looks like was machine-created.
