'N1' 'G20' 'X30 'Y40' 'Z50' [] <--- row 2 upto 496 rows.
I m currenty using following code which is giving error
fileID = fopen('Gcode.txt','w');
fprintf(fileID,'%10s %10s %10s %10s %10s %10s \n', G_code{1,1}{:}, G_code{1,1} {:},G_code{1,1}{:},G_code{1,1}{:},G_code{1,1}{:},G_code{1,1}{:});

Please post the error message. Perhaps it reveals, why you try to access the elements of G_code as cells, although the description sounds, like they are strings.
Posting Matlab code, which create the input, is always better in a forum. Does this match your data:
C = {'N1', 'G0', 'X0', 'Y0', 'Z0', []; ...
'N1', 'G20', 'X30', 'Y40', 'Z50', []};
Are there some missing quotes in your example data behind X0 and X30?

C = {'N1', 'G0', 'X0', 'Y0', 'Z0', []; ...
'N1', 'G20', 'X30', 'Y40', 'Z50', []};
D = C(:, 1:5).';
fileID = fopen('Gcode.txt','w');
fprintf(fileID, '%10s %10s %10s %10s %10s \n', D{:});
fclose(fileID);
If C does not match your input data, describe them again explicitly.

follow the link to the dlmcell.m file. It's a easy to use function to write cells to .txt file.
