MATLAB: Insert variable name into string

Question

I'm writing a function that allows users to input a filename to load that file. I'm going to use this function multiple times in GUI checkboxes so that a user can choose which files they want to pull up. The problem is, I can't figure out how to tell users what variable they should be entering. This is what I have so far (only the first few lines).

function [ output_args ] = loadExcel( Name )
inputdlg('Please enter the name for the' Name 'xls file: ','Excel Name');

Is there a way for me to plug in the variable for "Name" into my inputdlg string?

Answer 1

Try this:

inputdlg(['Please enter the name for the' Name 'xls file: '],'Excel Name');
