How to display a matrix in 1 column?

If I have a 3x3 matrix, then I want to display all the elements in 1-column. What I should do is I use a code written like this:

MatrixA =complex(rand(3),rand(3));
yourvector = MatrixA(:);   

And the output should be like this:

MatrixA =

   0.0368 + 0.8469i   0.4985 + 0.9399i   0.2231 + 0.9552i
   0.1905 + 0.4090i   0.4067 + 0.9367i   0.1639 + 0.6461i
   0.1353 + 0.6872i   0.2031 + 0.5439i   0.8975 + 0.6536i


yourvector =

   0.0368 + 0.8469i
   0.1905 + 0.4090i
   0.1353 + 0.6872i
   0.4985 + 0.9399i
   0.4067 + 0.9367i
   0.2031 + 0.5439i
   0.2231 + 0.9552i
   0.1639 + 0.6461i
   0.8975 + 0.6536i  

However, how am I going to separate the column based on the row?I expect my result should be like this:

   0.0368 + 0.8469i
   0.1905 + 0.4090i
   0.1353 + 0.6872i          
   
   0.4985 + 0.9399i
   0.4067 + 0.9367i
   0.2031 + 0.5439i

   0.2231 + 0.9552i
   0.1639 + 0.6461i
   0.8975 + 0.6536i  

Can someone help me? Thank you.

Don't struggle too much. A for-loop will do. Or displaying "column #" would be more helpful when the array size is bigger.

for k=1:size(a,2)
disp(a(:,k));
disp(' ');
end

Thank you so much, it works. Can I ask one more think?

Is it possible to extract the elements that already in 1-column into text file?

fid = fopen('MatrixA.txt','wt');
for ii = 1:size(MatrixA,1)

    fprintf(fid,'%g\t',MatrixA(ii,:));

    fprintf(fid,'\n');
end
fclose(fid)

I used this code, however, it still extract in a matrix form, not the column form which is what I want.

1. Notice the difference between "\t" and "\n" in fprintf() in your code
2. fprintf() won't print complex numbers
3. Using diary() might give you what you want

diary('MatrixA.txt');
for k=1:size(a,2)
disp(a(:,k));
disp(' ');
end
diary off;
