How do I get fprintf to print horizontally (table) using a for loop?

This is my current code (rawData represents a 2x8 matrix)

for k =1:length(rawData) fprintf('%10.2f',rawData(1,k), rawData(2,k)) fprintf('\n') end

The code creates a chart like this: EX: 15.94 (k=1) 15.96 (k=1) 15.98 (k=2) 15.94 (k=2,etc.)

I would like the data to appear like this however: EX: 15.94 15.98 15.96 15.94 Any suggestions, its driving me insane?

>> val=reshape(1:16,2,[]).';  % some data so can see order printed vis a vis in memory
>> fmt=[repmat('%8.2f',1,size(val,2)) '\n'];  % build appropriate formatting string
>> fprintf(fmt,val.')                         % and print in row-major order
  1.00    2.00
  3.00    4.00
  5.00    6.00
  7.00    8.00
  9.00   10.00
 11.00   12.00
 13.00   14.00
 15.00   16.00

No looping needed; just use proper format string and ensure print in proper order. Matlab stores internally by column-major so note the transpose.
