Unable to create text file for output

function opt = output2file(opt, state, pop, type, varargin)
% Function: opt = output2file(opt, state, pop, type, varargin)
% Description: Output the population 'pop' to file. The file name is
% specified by 'opt.outputfile' field.
% Parameters: 
%   type : output type.  -1 = the last call, close the opened file. 
%          others(or no exist) = normal output
%   varargin : any parameter define in the options.outputfuns cell array.

I am using this program for creating the output of MATLAB in text file. But I am not getting. I changed my code but unable to do so and getting result in graphical form which is not sufficient. Please help to get me out of this... Thanks

Are you closing the file (by calling the function with type = -1)?

No. I tried _ type poulations.txt_, but of no use
