for loop doesn't increment beyond 127

I'm trying to write a file with numbers and their respective multiplication with 2. But the printed file does not have values beyond 127.

    fileID = fopen('exp.txt','w');
    k=[0:3800];

    for t = k(1:1:end)

         A=[t,t*2];
         fprintf(fileID,'%d %d\r\n',A);

    end

    fclose(fileID);

Help me with this issue. Thanks in advance

Check the CLASS of the variable that you're printing to the file. I'd bet you that it is an int8 array and also that the code you posted is not your actual code. The INT8 data type can store values between -128 and 127 inclusive; values greater than 127 stored in int8 saturate.

 x = int8(12345678) % x will be 127

On my machine - MATLAB R2015a and Win7 64Bit - this produces all expected 3801 lines. In order to find out what is going wrong within you installation, you need to debug. Does the loop exit earlier than expected? Maybe "end" is variable on your workpace? Or is the loop complete and just the printing does not work?

No idea, but Steve is probably right. Anyway, that's kind of a weird for loop anyway, just try it this way instead:

fileID = fopen('exp.txt','wt');
if fileID ~= -1
    for t = 0 : 3800
        fprintf(fileID,'%4d %4d\n', t, 2*t);
    end
    fclose(fileID);
else
    message = sprintf('Error opening file exp.txt');
    uiwait(warndlg(message));
end
