fprintf of multidimensional cell arrays

Hello,

I am working on an export script to extract requirements references from my model to a simple XML file that I then post process using perl. the requirements references are simple text added as annotations to a block within the locality of the functionality. The script works until I have multiple requirements referenced on one annotation on separate lines. The problem seems to stem from the return of a cell array (1x3).

Here is the script:

     % code
     reqrefs = find_system('Regexp','on','AttributesFormatString','m:');

     reqtxt = get_param(reqrefs,'AttributesFormatString');
     reqstr = 'm:([0-9]+\.[A-Z]+\.[A-Z]+\.[0-9]+\.v[0-9]+)';
     reqs = regexp(reqtxt,reqstr,'match');

     fileID = fopen('~reqrefs.txt','wt');

     fprintf(fileID,'%s\n','<SLX>');

     for i = 1:length(reqrefs)
         fprintf(fileID,'\t<XREF>\n\t\t<ID>%s</ID>\n\t\t<SYS>%s</SYS>\n\t</XREF>\n',char(reqs{i}),reqrefs{i});

         sys(i).reqxref = reqs{i};
         sys(i).location = reqrefs(i);
     end

     fprintf(fileID,'%s','</SLX>');
     fclose(fileID);

The output from the script is in the attached file. At line 32 you can see how the multi-lined annotation is output to the file. Can anyone help me change my fprintf statement to handle to the cell array correctly?

Thanks

Coming back to this with fresh eyes I found the solution, my for loop has been changed to parse the cell array as follows

if true

    % code

      for i = 1:length(reqrefs)
          reqids = reqs{i};
          [nrows,ncols]=size(reqids);
          for col=1:ncols

              fprintf(fileID,'\t<XREF>\n\t\t<ID>%s</ID>\n\t\t<SYS>%s</SYS>\n\t</XREF>\n',char(reqids{:,col}),reqrefs{i});    

          end
end

The text is now correctly extracted from the model on multi-lines of the annotation.
