Displaying a Matrix in Long Format

I have a matrix that is 5x3. I would like to display this matrix in long format, but I can't figure out how to do this.

disp(A) just displays 4 decimal points

Everything else I have tried is an error. Such as:

format long disp(A)
disp(format long (A))

etc.

I tried to accomplish this when building the matrix, too:

format long x = function(whatever)
A(i,j) = x

But this errors out too.

I'm at a loss. Can anyone help? Thanks.

I think this would be a nice enhancement to disp. Something like disp(A, 'Long') seems to me to be reasonable.

try separating the 'format long' from the rest of your code perhaps this will help

format long;
>> rand(3,4)

ans =

   0.814723686393179   0.913375856139019   0.278498218867048   0.964888535199277
   0.905791937075619   0.632359246225410   0.546881519204984   0.157613081677548

That did it. Thank you. I would never have figured that out.
