How to print ( ) in mathlab

Hello,

I am running a matlab code which writes output to an excel file.

I would like to write * each output value inside a parenthesis * . Is there an easy way to do this?

Code I use:

results = zeros(5,10);

for i = 1:10
    results(1,i)= avxt(i);
    results(2,i)= stdxt(i);
    results(3,i)= avxtl(i);
    results(4,i)= stdxtl(i);
    results(5,i)= afxtPI(i);
end  

xlswrite('output.xlxs', results, 'sheet1', 'A1:H5'

Thanks.

results = zeros(5,10);
results(1,:)= avxt;
...

etc., etc., ...

You will need a .' to transpose if they're column rather than row vectors, of course.

What sort of precision do you want/need in the spreadsheet? Writing the values as numeric stores the full precision automagically whereas if you convert to string to show the parens you'll have to select some formatting.

Then place the result to a cell array after using sprintf() to output the desired format.

>> sprintf('(%.3f)',pi)
ans =
(3.142)
>> 

doc sprintf  % for details.

NB you will have to write each element to a cell. cellfun should be useful here

Thanks. Well I tried the following code to do a table in matlab and it gave me the given error: Is there anyway to correct it please?

    results = zeros(5,h);

    for i = 1:h
        results(1,i)= avxt(i);
        results(2,i)= stdxt(i);
        results(3,i)= avxtl(i);
        results(4,i)= stdxtl(i);
        results(5,i)= afxtPI(i);
    end  

    results

    pnt1 = sprintf('(%.4f)',results(2,1));
    pnt2 = sprintf('(%.4f)',results(4,1));
    pnt3 = sprintf('(%.4f)',results(2,10));
    pnt4 = sprintf('(%.4f)',results(4,10));
    pnt5 = sprintf('(%.4f)',results(2,20));
    pnt6 = sprintf('(%.4f)',results(4,20));

    cov = [val1;pnt1;val2;pnt3;val3;pnt5];
    len = [val4;pnt2;val5;pnt4;val6;pnt6];

    Tbl = table(cov,len)

    Error:

      Error using vertcat
      CAT arguments dimensions are not consistent.

      Error in prnt (line 470)
      cov = [val1;pnt1;val2;pnt3;val3;pnt5];

[Walter Roberson]

cov = {val1;pnt1;val2;pnt3;val3;pnt5};
len = {val4;pnt2;val5;pnt4;val6;pnt6};

thanks. I think it worked. However I got the following error. am i not using it correct?

Error:

Undefined function 'table' for input arguments of type 'cell'
