input dialog box data usage

input dialog box data usage

input dialog box data usage

(OP)
I am able to create the input dialog box but cannot seem to extract the data inputs for manipulation. The data is in the form of a 'cell array'.
I would appreciate any help that may be out there.

RE: input dialog box data usage

Hi,
usually 'char'(i.e. A=char(OUT);)  will transfer the output to strings.
Even A=OUT{:} works for short strings.

I want to input some data that has an index of 1 but the data is upto 1000 in length. How do I input it so that I can use each input for computation in matlab before assessing the next input? That is access the inputs one at a  time.

RE: input dialog box data usage

you could write a loop with the computation inside  and have the matrix number increase on each success change. You could set a counter to match the last matrix number in case you didn't know how many to do.
