I know the general way to write to a text file but now I want it in a certain format

Say i have two numbers that I want to get reported (a and b)

file1 = fopen('output1.txt','w') %Open to write to output1.txt
fprintf(file1, '    ')

%In the (' ') I dont know how to display a and b in a way that in the textfile, it will look like this:

a|b|    %The (|) look like thin, small black rectangle, don't know what to call it.

All of this is explained in the documentation of the
FPRINTF function. First find the docs. Then read them.
Last, contemplate what you read.

As an aside: because you are writing in text format, you should use 'wt' 
instead of 'w'.

fprintf(file1, '%f|%f|\n', [a(:),b(:)].' );

You may wish to experiment with %d and %g instead of %f .
