Writing ~ using fprintf

Hello to everyone.

The point of this question is how to write the character ~ when using fprintf.

When I write it, I get the following message:

Warning: Escaped character '\~' is not valid.

Moreover, I'm wondering how to add a text before a mathematical expression, i.e.:

fprintf(f,'\~y\~-\~w %.6E & %.6E & %.6E & %.6E\\\\',A(1, :));

What sould I do in order to write that?

Thank you very much.

The tilde can be printed directly without escaping:

fprintf('This is a tile: ~\n')

And what is the problem with adding text?

fprintf(f,'~y~-~w %.6E & %.6E & %.6E & %.6E\\\\', A(1, :));

Hello.

Firstly, thanks for your answer!

I didn't explain myself well enough.

Now, I've realized the problem is not really with the tilde but with the bar \. I need to print it, too, in order to write it in LaTeX.

Ok. I've already solved it. Thanks!
