writetable with spaces on header

I have a table: T

LastName     Age    Smoker    Height    Weight    BloodPressure
    _________    ___    ______    ______    ______    _____________
    'Sanchez'    38     true        71       176       124     93 
    'Johnson'    43     false       69       163       109     77
    'Diaz'       40     false       67       133       117     75
    

What I would like to do is output this table to a text file but with spaces in between LastName and BloodPressure like:

    Last Name     Age    Smoker    Height    Weight    Blood Pressure
    _________    ___    ______    ______    ______    _____________
    'Sanchez'    38     true        71       176       124     93 
    'Johnson'    43     false       69       163       109     77
    'Diaz'       40     false       67       133       117     75

header = {'Last Name', 'Age', 'Smoker', 'Height', 'Weight', 'Blood Pressure'};
Tcell = [header; table2cell(T)];
writecell(Tcell, 'YourFileName.txt', 'Delimiter', '\t')

Oh, yeat, forgot they'd introduced that, Walter...I need to find the time to update/reinstall...but not yet today! :(

Hi Walter,

Thanks. I'm getting the following error:

Undefined function or variable 'writecell'.

I'm trying to do this:

writecell(Tcell,[folder filename], 'Delimiter', '\t')

Where folder is just the path to the folder containing the file and filename is the name of the file

'C:\myfiles\001\YourFileName.txt'

writecell was not introduced until R2019a so you'll have to have lastest version to use it.

[Walter Roberson]

It is difficult to make appropriate recommendations when we do not know the release being used.

Crystall ball out for repair again, Walter? :)

Installed R2019a and it worked. Thanks a lot.

You will have to write the table content via fprintf then; the writetable function doesn't have the flexibility to specify alternate headings and column names must be valid Matlab variable names which don't include spaces.
