Printing heading to text file using fprintf

Hi, I am amending my text file with headings using the function fprintf. I took inspiration from other forums and made this script
load D
age=1:8;
year=1990:1:1997;
D_w_hdg=[year' age' D];
save('D.txt','D','-ascii')
fileID = fopen('D.txt','w');
fprintf(fileID,'%4s %3s %4s %4s %4s\n','year', 'age', 'male', 'male', 'male');
fprintf(fileID,'%4u %2u %2.6d %2.6d %2.6d\n',D_w_hdg);
fclose(fileID);
type 'D.txt'
The result in the Command window looks ok, but when I open the D.txt in Notepad the result is all in one line. I want the result in Notepad to reflect what is shown with the command type 'D.txt'. Is this possible?

I do not have ‘D’, so I cannot run your code.
Try transposing your matrix:
fprintf(fileID,'%4u %2u %2.6d %2.6d %2.6d\n',D_w_hdg');
