Really! fprintf cell error

function []=printresults2file(shape)
fid=fopen('ChangyuLiu.txt','wt');
fprintf(fid, 'The number of entered objects was %d \n', size(shape,1));
fprintf(fid,'%s \t\t %s \t\t %s \t\t %s\n','No.','ID','Color','Area');
for i=1:size(shape,1)
fprintf(fid, '%d %s %s %f',shape{i,:});
fprintf('\n');
end
fclose(fid);
end
This is a sub-function I used to output a table in .txt file. However, the error kept pumping up as
Error using fprintf
Function is not defined for 'cell' inputs.
I wonder what's causing the problem.

So that is your answer, two of the cell elements are themselves cells, and you can't feed those directly to fprintf.

What happens if you change this
fprintf(fid, '%d %s %s %f',shape{i,:});
to this
fprintf(fid, '%d %s %s %f',shape{i,1},shape{i,2}{1},shape{i,3}{1},shape{i,4});
