I am new to Matlabs printing tools (e.g. sprintf) and I am unable in due time to perform a very simple task. I have 2 vectors of equal length (6):
1)  Labels:  'X_003'    'X_029'    'X_046'    'X_047'    'X_056'    'const'
2)  Numbers:   -0.6467   -0.9923    0.2168    0.7864    0.3730    0.2953,
and I want to produce a nice and neat columnwise output, like
   X_003      -0.6467
   X_029      -0.9923
   ............   ..........
   const        0.2953
I have used strcat(Labels',num2str(Numbers)), but the output is awful and I have tried sprintf & fprintf, but onestly I got stuck. Please help me, thx in advance, Guido.

Just be crude

for ii = 1:length(labels)
      fprintf(1, '% 7s    %3.6f\n', Labels{ii}, Numbers(ii)
end

you might need to play about a bit with the numbers in the format string to get exactly what you want. The space says to space pad, the 7 is the string field width. The flating point format takes width and precision. You might want to space pad it as well.
