inputdlg question

Is it possible to output the string contents of a variable to a prompt or dialog title for inputdlg? I would also like to seed the first position of the created cell with the person's name.

It would look something akin to:

-------------------------------------

quanShoppers = 3;

namesList = {'Sally', 'Fred', 'John'};

for n=1:quanShoppers

    prompt = {'Enter item for' namesList(n), 'Enter price paid'};
    dlg_title = 'Shopping list for' namesList(n);
    groceryList = {namesList(n),inputdlg(prompt, dlg_title, 1)};

end

------------------------------------

For the first iteration, the expected outputs will look like:

Shopping list for Sally

Enter item for Sally

Enter price paid

Try this:

namesList = {'Sally', 'Fred', 'John'};
groceryList = cell(length(namesList), 2);
for n=1:quanShoppers
    line1 = sprintf('Enter item for %s', namesList{n})
    line2 = 'Enter price paid'
    prompt = {line1; line2}
    dlg_title = sprintf('Shopping list for %s', namesList{n})
    userResponse = inputdlg(prompt, dlg_title, 1)
    groceryList(n, 1) = namesList(n);
    groceryList{n, 2} = userResponse{1};
    groceryList{n, 3} = userResponse{2};
end
