Displaying loop index in a string

Hi all,

I'm just curious as to how to do this (or if it can even be done). If I'm using the input prompt in a loop, how can I get it to display the loop index in the string?

For example,

for k=1:NS
ele(k) = input('input value for ele(k)');
end

So essentially each time I would like this to say:

input value for ele(1)

input value for ele(2)...etc

Can this be done?

Thanks!

Craig

input(sprintf('input value for ele(%d)',k))
