Display array values of varying orders of magnitude

I store a function's input parameters in an array, and I want the values in the array printed in the Command Window when an error occurs.

The array's values span many orders of magnitude (1e-4 up to 1e16). When printed, at the top of the printed data one sees "1.0e+16 *" and then underneath each array value listed as a zero, except that which is on the order of 1e16. That is listed as a number between 1 and 10.

Is there an easy way to print all values of the array in their own respective order of magnitude?

fprintf with the e format will put everything in exponential notation:

x = [1.234e16,42;0.3,6.789e8]
fprintf([repmat('%7.4e    ',1,size(x,2)),'\n'],x')
