Hi,
I created a text file using MATLAB. For example, 10 by 3 matrix and I saved it as a text using fopen and fprint in particular format. Now I want to append lines (data)to this text, say at row 1, row 5, and row 10, i.e at a fixed interval. How can I do this. Remember, I need to add lots of these lines.
I greatly appreciate any help.
Thanks Rafiq

The only way to insert lines into a text file is to read in the file and write out the modified file. There is no way to seek directly to a particular line, and there is no way to insert in the middle of a text file.
Depending on what you want to insert into the file, you may wish to use system utilities such as "sed" or "awk" or "perl"
