MATLAB: Display value in message box

display-message-box-matlab

hi, please help.

i create a multiple choice box and then display value of a in a message box but i don't know how to put the value of 'a' in the message box.

close all
clear all
choice = menu('Choose optical fiber type','Single-mode fiber ( G.652 )','Dispersion-shifted fiber ( G.653 )','Non-zero dispersion-shifted fiber ( G.655 )');
if choice==1
    a=1;
elseif choice==2
    a=2;
else
    a=3;
end
h = msgbox(Message)

Is this:

h = msgbox(sprintf('You chose %d',a))

something like what you want to do?

In sprintf, single ‘\’ are control characters for it and will throw an error if sprintf doesn’t recognise a valid control sequence, so to get it to print a ‘\’ that the TeX interpreter will see and interpret requires a double ‘\\’.

This worked for me, displaying both alpha and lambda as special characters:

h = msgbox({sprintf('Fibre attenuation: \\alpha = %g (dB/km)',alphadb)
             'Derivative dispersion coefficient: s = dD/d\lambda = 0.075 (ps/nm^2.km)' },'Standard Values',CreateStruct);

Try this:

maxAllowedValue = 104000/(B^2*dispersion) ;
if distance > maxAllowedValue
  message = sprintf('Distance of %s is greater than the max allowed value of %f.\nPlease try again.', distance, maxAllowedValue);
  uiwait(warndlg(message));
  return;  % Would be nicer to user to use a while loop rather than exit the program.
end
