What do you want to have happen if there happens to be an existing file of the same name?

Create new file discarding content if already exists:
fid = fopen('results.str','w');
fprintf(fid,'%f,%f,%f\r\n',[1 2 3; 4 5 6].');
fid = fclose(fid);

to add to Olegs answer you can add the following line to view the file in notepad:
system ( 'notepad results.str' )
