You can use ischar() to query which elements are strings and write those properly.

Expanding on this a bit: use (~cellfun(@ischar,YourArray)) to create a logical index of the numeric positions. Use cellfun() on those positions, with an appropriate function such as @sprintf, in order to format those numeric positions as strings and write them back in the cell array in the form of strings. Now you have a cell array which is only strings and you can write it out.

can u please give the syntax how to work i couldnot do it

[Walter Roberson]

Letting C be your cell array, then:

TC = C;
cellisnum = ~cellfun(@ischar, TC);
TC(cellisnum) = cellfun(@num2str, TC(cellisnum), 'UniformOutput', false);
for R = 1 : size(TC,1)
  fprintf(s, '%s ', TC{R,1:end-1));
  fprintf(s, '%s\n', TC{R,end});
end
