Matlab Prompts in Unix

[hgeek]

Hi,
I wrote a .m file for matlab which includes prompts asking questions such as "write the name of your output file" or "what file should be textscanned"

The problem i have is, when i try to run it through matlab in Unix, there is no way to answer the prompt and it says the variables are undefined.

Is there any way i can resolve this issue?

Thanks
