Spacing in a heading for a table. (fprintf)

I have this code below

fprintf('\n\tAppNumb \tgender \tgpa \texp \tlines (bonus)');

fprintf('\n%11.0f %11.0f %11.4f %11.4f %11.4f %11.0f', With2');

fprintf('\n')

which produces this http://screencast.com/t/XIKWFYck

and this code

fprintf('\n\t\tAppNumb \t\tgender \t\tgpa \t\texp \t\tlines (bonus)');

fprintf('\n%11.0f %11.0f %11.4f %11.4f %11.4f %11.0f', Without2');

fprintf('\n')

which produces this http://screencast.com/t/QBQofwUP0C5

As you can see neither of them produces a table with headings that match up to their corresponding column. Is there a better way to set the spacing with fprintf?

thank you for your time.

Hi Thomas, try this:

fprintf('%11s%12s%12s%12s%12s%12s\n', 'AppNumb', 'gender','gpa','exp','lines','(bonus)');
fprintf('%11.0f %11.0f %11.4f %11.4f %11.4f %11.0f\n\n', rand(1,6));

Is that what you're looking for?

That is exactly what I wanted, thank you.
