MATLAB: String array and Numeric values

arraycell arraysstring

Hi,,
I have a String array that contains Names, I want to allow the user to choose a Name to change either by writing the name as a string OR by writing it's index as a number..
So I wrote this code, but it seems faulty.. Can anyone help with this..
Thanks in advance:
    clear all
  clc
Nums=[1:5]
%NumsStr=num2str(Nums)
for i=1:5
    s=input('s= ','s')
    s=strtrim(s);
    S{i}=(s);
    clc
end
S
for i=1:5
    tst=input('edit what ','s')
    try
        res=strmatch(tst,S,'exact')
        if((length(res)~=0) && (length(res)<2))
            S{res(1)}=input('TEXT_MODE, New String =','s')
        else
            %NumRes=strmatch(tst,num2str(Nums))
            NumRes=find(Nums==tst)
            if((length(NumRes)~=0) && (length(NumRes)<2))
                S{NumRes(1)}=input('NUMBER_MODE, New String = ','s')
            end
        end
    catch ME
      end
  end

In your original code, you should change the line after the else statement to:
NumRes=find(Nums==str2num(tst))
