How to put some string in a variable?

Hi everyone ,

i have a question about this code :

function fonction_graphs_1(handles)

val = get(handles.graph,'Value');
str = get(handles.graph,'String'); 

switch str{val};

      case 'Electrique'

            set (handles.graph_1,'Enable','on');

            nameList = {'modele_'};  
            for iIndex = 1:10     
                   Field  = sprintf('%s%d', nameList{1},iIndex);
                   if findobj('Tag',Field,'Enable','on')
                     H = handles.(Field);  
                     String = get(H, 'String');
                     Value  = get(H, 'Value');
                     fichier = String{Value};
                     set (handles.graph_1,'String',{'', fichier },'value',1);

                   end

            end

i would like than " fichier " become a variables which can add all the thing i select, These are "String" and if i put " fichier " in this code :

set (handles.graph_1,'String',{'', fichier },'value',1);

All the string will be show ?

Is it possible ?

Thank you

Hugo - where in the code would you update fichier to be the list of all "things" that can be selected? In the above function or elsewhere? Is handles.graph_1 a list box which will contain all of these selections?

[Hugo]

Yes sorry , graph_1 can contain : ' ' , ' Electric' and 'Thermic'

[Geoff Hayes]

And where does fichier get set with the selected items?

[Hugo]

modele_1 to 10 , graph and graph_1 are Popupmenus

    fichier = String{Value};
    set (handles.graph_1,'String',{'', fichier },'value',1);

Hugo - if you just want to update fichier at each iteration and then add to the list after, then you could do something like this

 fichier = {''};

 for iIndex = 1:10     
     Field  = sprintf('%s%d', nameList{1},iIndex);
     if findobj('Tag',Field,'Enable','on')
         H = handles.(Field);  
         String = get(H, 'String');
         Value  = get(H, 'Value');
         fichier = [fichier ; String{Value}];

      end
 end

 % now update the widget
 set (handles.graph_1,'String',fichier,'value',1);

Try the above and see what happens!

It's ok now i got a little problem : i could have 10 different choice about the motor , i don't kno how to check the different name , ( ME_1 to 10 ) Cause i can choose the same motor for some time and i want to put the name only one time , there are in a TABLE

[Geoff Hayes]

Since fichier is a cell array, do something like the following to check to see if the motor is already in the list

 if isempty(find(strcmpi(fishier, String{Value})))
     fichier = [fichier ; String{Value}];
 end

For example,

 fichier = {'' ; 'Electric' ; 'Thermic' ; 'NA' ; 'Other'} 

 find(strcmpi(fichier,'Electric'))

 ans =
     2

 find(strcmpi(fichier,'Electric2'))

 ans =
   Empty matrix: 0-by-1

If the string is in the cell array, then find returns the index of that string in the cell array. Else if the string is not in the list (as in the second example) then an empty matrix is returned.

        nameList = {'modele_'};  
        for iIndex = 1:10     
          Field  = sprintf('%s%d', nameList{1},iIndex);
          if findobj('Tag',Field,'Enable','on')
            H = handles.(Field);  
            String = get(H, 'String');
            Value  = get(H, 'Value');
            fichier = String{Value}  ;                                     
               if strncmp (fichier ,'ME_',3)
                  tableau{j} = fichier;
                  j = j+1;
               end
           end             
         end    
         tableau

     for i=1:length(tableau)
         for j=i+1:length(tableau)
             if  strcmp(tableau{i},tableau{j})
                   tableau{j}= -1;
             end
         end
     end
     tableau
     set (handles.graph_1,'String',tableau,'value',1);

i would like to set only the String ME_X , and don't put -1

( -1 is when a Motor is 2 time or more show )

exemple :

tableau = 

      'ME_1.m'    'ME_1.m'    'ME_2.m'    'ME_1.m'

tableau = 

      'ME_1.m'    [-1]    'ME_2.m'    [-1]

They're put in a TABLE

[Geoff Hayes]

Hugo - I'm not really clear on what you want. You state that i would like to set only the String ME_X , and don't put -1. But you have written code to put the -1. Why? Why not use the example I showed in the previous comment

 if isempty(find(strcmpi(fishier, String{Value})))
     fichier = [fichier ; String{Value}];
 end
