Matlab data to ASCII/ MIT files

Hi!! I have a lot of ECG matlab data files I want to analyse but the program I'm using only accepts ASCII or MIT files, how can I convert them efficiently?

I tried to use

save('file.txt','filename','-ascii');

for one of them but it didn't work, it says "Unknown text on line number 1 of ASCII file filename'.

Thank you in advance for any help

save -ascii adds a comment.

These days, I suggest you use writematrix() with appropriate delimiter set.

If your MATLAB does not have writematrix() then dlmwrite() works. Remember to set the precision parameter as needed.
