How do we save command window output to a text file? The professor does not want us to use fprintf function to write data to text file. I want the text file name to be 'DailySummaries'. I have done this currently but it does not save it as a .txt file
diary on
diary('DailySummaries')
disp(strcat('Day',{' '},num2str(data(i).elapsedtime(3)),{' '},' Healthy People = ',{' '},num2str(data(i).healthy)))
disp(strcat('Day',{' '},num2str(data(i).elapsedtime(3)),{' '},' Infected People = ',{' '},num2str(data(i).infected)))
disp(strcat('Day',{' '},num2str(data(i).elapsedtime(3)),{' '},' Sick People = ',{' '},num2str(data(i).sick)))
disp(strcat('Day',{' '},num2str(data(i).elapsedtime(3)),{' '},' Recovered People = ',{' '},num2str(data(i).recovered)))

diary does create a text file. However, diary() does not automatically add any file extension, so your File Explorer does not know how to open the file.
diary('DailySummaries.txt')
