MATLAB [Matlab] How to use inputdlg string variable in text file?

[muaaman]

I am trying to display the input that I enter into the dialog box from "inputdlg" function into a text file.

This is what I've so far:

prompt={['What is your name?']};
title = 'Name Machine';
answer = inputdlg(prompt, title);
name = answer{1};
fileID = fopen('NameMachineFive.txt', 'w');
fprintf(fileID,['His name is %s.', name]);
fclose(fileID);

The input dialog shows up and asks 'What is your name'? I enter it in, and then it closes. I go open the text file 'NameMachineFive.txt' and I get:

His name is

But when I enter into Matlab:

name

I get the name that I entered into the 'inputdlg' dialog box.

So my question is:

]How would I fix the code to get the name input entered into the text file?

I'd highly appreciate the assistance.

 

[DrClaude]

prompt={['What is your name?']};
title = 'Name Machine';
answer = inputdlg(prompt, title);
name = answer{1};
fileID = fopen('NameMachineFive.txt', 'w');
fprintf(fileID,['His name is %s.', name]);
fclose(fileID);

Remove the square brackets in the fprintf:

fprintf(fileID,'His name is %s.', name);
