Display output in FORTRAN format ?

How do I display the numerical contents of an array so that rather than looking like:

A=

     5.43297486350203e-005 + 2.66188191742774e-006i
      4.93260233930857e-006 + 9.43375107613982e-005i
      3.40870376238982e-004 - 5.64562919171371e-003i

it gives something that can be copied and pasted into a FORTRAN code ?

I should clarify, that I'm not necessarily trying to write an output file, I'm just trying to display the variable, even if it's just in the Command Window.

    fprintf(fid, '(%f,%f)\n', [real(A(:)), imag(A(:))].' )

Thanks Walter.

I was hoping there would be something more like Mathematica's function FortranForm[ ], or Maple's function Fortran( ) ...

Nope. But if you want you can create

function s = FortranComplex(V)

s = sprintf( '(%f,%f)', real(V(1)), imag(V(1)) );

and then use the output string in whatever context you want.

If you have the symbolic toolbox, you could try

fortran(A) but you might have use fortran(sym(A))
