Saving user input and write into .csv file?

Hello, I am wondering whether it would be possible to save the user input and write into .csv?
prompt={'weight','hight','birth date'};
dlgtitle='Input';
dims=[1 35];
definput={'120kg','170cm','1998/5/2'};
answer = inputdlg(prompt,dlgtitle, dims, definput);
Thanks

solution:
writecell(answer,'myfilename.csv')
and for get the file after you can use:
readcell('myfilename.csv')

This requires r2019b or later.
For earlier versions

@Walter Roberson I was reading your early post but I am not too sure which one would help me achieve my goal. I am thinking to have that fix column of specific inputs (data information and its changingable). When the user enter that specific inputs and after some data analysis, those data information can also write into the .csv with the corresponding data.
Thanks for the response!
I think you mentioned, "I need to emphasize that this cannot be used to add new columns to a csv file."
Does that mean its not possbile to combine the user input from prompt with the after-data-anaylsis into the same .csv?
