write

Arguments

file_desc

Either

• A character string specifying the file name.

• or the integer id of a file opened with file(…) (see file). Using %io(2) will write in the console.

This function can not open a UTF filename. In this case, please uses file.

a

Matrix of real numbers, or column of character strings.

format

character string specifying a "Fortran" format. It must begin with a left parenthesis and end with a right one. The format must be about only one type of input data. It can't mix placeholders for real numbers and for strings.

Format examples : "(1x,e10.3,5x,3(f3.0),1x,i4)" , "(10x,a20)".

"x":	white space. "5x" = 5 white spaces
"a":	string. "a20" = 20 first characters of the input string.
"i":	print as integer
"f":	real number
"e":	real number in exponential form.
"(…)":	group. 3(…) = iterate 3 times the group.

Please see a Fortran book for more information.

k

integer vector

Description

writes row-by-row in a formatted file a matrix of real numbers or a column vector of character strings. If the file already exists, it is overwritten. Each row of the a argument begins a new line of file_desc file. Depending on format, a given row of the a argument may be written in more than one line of file_desc file.

Direct access files : x=write(file_desc,a,k,format). Here k is the vector of records (one record by row, i.e. m=prod(size(k))

write(%io(2),....) writes on Scilab's console. Note that in this case format should produce one output line per matrix row. If this constraint is not verified, unpredictable behavior could happen.

Examples

deletefile('asave');
A = rand(5,3);
write('asave',A);
A = read('asave',5,3);

write(%io(2),A,'('' | '',3(f10.3,'' | ''))')
write(%io(2),string(1:10))
write(%io(2),strcat(string(1:10),','))
write(%io(2),1:10,'(10(i2,3x))')

deletefile('foo');
write('foo',A)
