I think the OP wants something like

123.456789

output. And I think OP wants to use the data outside of Octave, and that other 
application probably expects the fixed point format.

Anyway, being in the OP's shoes I wouldn't even ask - a couple of nested loops 
and custom format supplied to 'fprintf' trivially solve the problem.
