How do I save a Matrix as a .grid file?

Hello,

I'd like to save a 56x2 matrix to a .grid file. Does anybody know if and how that works?

Hi @ER200,

I understand that you want to save some data precisely a 56x2 matrix to .GRID file using MATLAB.

You can use “writematrix” function of MATLAB to do so but .GRID is not a recognized file type and hence it is not supported. As a workaround, you can use the “FileType” property of “writematrix” and treat your .GRID file as .TXT file and save it with .GRID extension.

You can refer to the example code below:

% Example 56x2 matrix 

matrix = rand(56, 2); % Replace with your actual matrix 

% Write the matrix to a .grid file, specifying the file type 

writematrix(matrix, 'output.grid', 'FileType', 'text'); 

Kindly go through the documentation of “writematrix” https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2022a/matlab/ref/writematrix.html

I hope this helps!
