writematrix(<matrix_name>, “filename.extension”);

This will create a new file in the current directory with the matrix stored in it. Let us see the same for csv files with various examples. Now, the following is a 2×5 matrix, and we will export it to a csv file named matrix.csv.

Example 1:

Output:

The created csv file: 

 

Let’s export a 4×5 matrix with floating point data to csv file.

Example 2:

The new csv file would be:
