MATLAB: How to Change the Dialog Box Output

cell arraydialog-boxoutput

Hi, I am trying to use a dialogue box to get user input. However, the answers being returned are in a cell array with apostrophes. Can I get an output without apostrophes?

My code is:

input = inputdlg({'T1','T2','T3','T4', 'T5', 'T6'}, 'Input', [1 7; 1 7;1 7; 1 7; 1 7; 1 7], {'0', '0','0', '0','0', '0', '0'})

and it returns:

input =

    '0'
    '0'
    '0'
    '0'
    '0'
    '0'

Thanks for the help.

A = inputdlg({'T1','T2','T3','T4', 'T5', 'T6'}, 'Input', [1 7; 1 7;1 7; 1 7; 1 7; 1 7], {'0', '0','0', '0','0', '0', '0'})
in=str2double(A)

% Do not use input as a variable, it's a Matlab function

MATLAB: How to extract elements from a table according to specific conditions

I think if you want to select rows then the colon operator is in the wrong place, and that you would want something like

T1(strcmp(T1.TargetStatus, 'T') & strcmp(T1.Response, 'k'),:);

But it might really be more convenient to use categorical variables, like this

T1.Sequence = categorical(T1.Sequence)
T1.TargetStatus = categorical(T1.TargetStatus)
T1.Response = categorical(T1.Response)
T1(T1.TargetStatus=='N' & T1.Response=='k',:)

Since you are analyzing RT data, you might find the RawRT toolbox useful. It won't work with categorical variables, so you would have to convert everything to numbers, like this:

T1.Sequence = grp2idx(T1.Sequence);
T1.TargetStatus = grp2idx(T1.TargetStatus);
T1.Response = grp2idx(T1.Response);

But then you could compute a lot of summary stats, graphs, ANOVAs, etc pretty simply, e.g.

somemeans = CondMeans(T1,'ReactionTime',{'TargetStatus','Response'})  % which produces
somemeans = 
    TargetStatus    Response    ReactionTime
    ____________    ________    ____________
    1               1           0.84507     
    2               2           0.89869

MATLAB: How to change the position of an INPUTDLG dialog box in MATLAB 7.10 (R2010a)

The ability to specify the position, height, and width of an input dialog box created with INPUTDLG is not available in MATLAB.

As a workaround, a custom dialog box can be created using UICONTROL. The attached sample MATLAB function below MVDLG creates a dialog box with the ability to specify the position. Please extend or modify this example as required for your custom application.
