title: export matlab variable to text for python usage
body: <p>So let's start off by saying I'm a total beginner in matlab. I'm working with python and now I've recieved some data in a matlab file that I need to export to a format I could use with python.</p>
  
  <p>I've googled around and found I can export a matlab variable to a text file using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>dlmwrite('my_text', MyVariable, 'delimiter' , ',');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now the variable I need to export is a 16000 x 4000 matrix of doubles of the form <code>0.006747668446927</code>. Now here is where the problem starts. I need to export the full values for each double. Trying with that function lead me to export the numbers in a format of <code>0.0067477</code>. This won't do since I need a whole lot more of precision for what I'm doing. So how can I export the full values of each of these variables? Or if you have a more elegant way of using that huge matlab matrix in python please feel free.</p>
  
  <p>Regards,
