MATLAB: Variable Length inputdlg() Box

inputdlgvariable length

The inputdlg allows me to type in multiple prompts thus generating multiple input boxes. However, I'd like to have a have a user specifiy the number of inputs (say 5) and then have the inputdlg box pop up with 5 input boxes each with a prompt that says "Input 1", "Input 2",…etc. Any idea how to go about this?

answers = inputdlg( cellstr( num2str((1:N).', 'Input %d') ) );

Michael, does this do what you need?

 defaultanswer = {'20','hsv'};
 for ii = 1:2
    prompt        ={'Enter the matrix size for x^2:',...
                    'Enter the colormap name:'};
    name          = 'Input for Peaks function';
    numlines      = 1;
    defaultanswer = inputdlg(prompt,name,numlines,defaultanswer);
 end

I suspect that your variables are numeric, in which case you need to convert to string, using, e.g., the num2str command.

answer = questdlg ( '?', 'Header', 'Yes', 'No', 'Yes' )
strcmp ( answer, 'Yes' )
