MATLAB: Adding quotes to a user input

Question

Is it possible to write some code that will add single quotations to a user input to make it into a string so that it can be used in a switch loop, etc.

For example:

method = input('linear or cubic? ');
switch(method)
   case 'linear'
      disp('Method is linear')
   case 'cubic'
      disp('Method is cubic')
end

The user here must type in 'linear' or 'cubic', is it possible to make it so they can just type in linear or cubic without quotes.

Answer 1

Try the 's' option.

method = input('linear or cubic? ', 's');
