fprintf cell array with strings and numbers

I have a matrix "C" 902x14cell and I need to write it using fprintf. Before the matrix I have 10 lines of header that contain only strings.
%%do this 10 times for each line of header
[rows10{kk},cols10{kk}]=size(header_row10{kk});
for i=1:rows10{kk}
fprintf(B{kk},'%s,',header_row10{kk}{i,1:end-1});
fprintf(B{kk},'%s\n',header_row10{kk}{i,end});
end
%Begin writing data after 10 lines of header
[rowsC{kk},cols1{kk}]=size(C{kk});
for i=1:rowsC{kk}
fprintf(B{kk},'%f,%f,%f,%f,%f,%f,%f,%f,%f,%f,%f,%f,%f,%f,',C{kk}{i,1:end});
fprintf(B{kk},'%f%f%f%f%f%f%f%f%f%f%f%f%f%f\r\n',transpose(C{kk}{i,end}));
end
but when I do this it just creates a csv file of 1 row with all the columns mashed together. The only reason I need to use fprintf is because the matrix has 13 columns of number and 1 column of strings and dlmread doesn't support cells. Is there a way to fprintf C without it losing the columns?

...
fmt=[repmat('%f,',1,cols1{kk}-1) '%s\n']; % format presuming last is string
for i=1:rowsC{kk}
fprintf(B{kk},fmt,C{kk}{i,1:end-1},char(C{kk}(end)));
end
should do it altho a small sample of the actual data structure would be helpful.

So, just rearrange the format string and output to match the layout...again the actual storage would be useful to get the indexing expressions right; the arrangement of {} looks peculiar in your code that I just mimicked.
