Use append option when you save the data to files. [You can also use low-level fopen with option 'a+' for appending]
% create a file
a1 = [1 2 3];
save('test.txt', 'a1', '-ascii');
type test.txt
%% Now save more data with append
a2 = [4 5 6];
save('test.txt', 'a2', '-ascii', '-append');
type test.txt

writetable() and writematrix() support append options these days.
save() to a .mat file supports '-append'
save() to text suports '-append'
For binary files, fopen() with 'a' always appends to the end of the file (even if you have used fseek() to reposition.). fopen() with 'a+' starts at the end of the file, but permits you to fseek() and write at whatever position you are at.
