stat = fts2ascii(filename, dates, data, colheads, desc, exttext)

Arguments

filename
Name of an ASCII file

tsobj
Financial time series object

exttext
(Optional) Extra text. A string written after the description line (line 2 in the file).

dates
Column vector containing dates. Dates must be in serial date number format and may specify time of day.

data
Column-oriented matrix. Each column is a series.

colheads
(Optional) Cell array of column headers (names); first cell must always be the one for the dates column. colheads will be written to the file just before the data.

desc

`filename`	Name of an ASCII file
`tsobj`	Financial time series object
`exttext`	(Optional) Extra text. A string written after the description line (line 2 in the file).
`dates`	Column vector containing dates. Dates must be in serial date number format and may specify time of day.
`data`	Column-oriented matrix. Each column is a series.
`colheads`	(Optional) Cell array of column headers (names); first cell must always be the one for the dates column. `colheads` will be written to the file just before the data.
`desc`	(Optional) Description string, which will be the first line in the file.

Description

stat = fts2ascii(filename, tsobj, exttext) writes the financial time series object tsobj into an ASCII file filename. The data in the file is tab delimited.

stat = fts2ascii(filename, dates, data, colheads, desc, exttext) writes into an ASCII file filename the dates, times, and data contained in the column vector dates and the column-oriented matrix data. The first column in filename contains the dates, followed by times (if specified). Subsequent columns contain the data. The data in the file is tab delimited.

stat indicates whether file creation is successful (1) or not (0).
