Using first input of a vector as figure title

Hello, I am trying to create a figure/plot and use the first data point as the title for my figure. Unfortunately, I'm not even close to having the correct syntax and I don't really know where to start. Hope you can help, Thanks.

data = ['mytitle' 1 2 3 4 5]
figure(1)
plot (data(2:6))
title(data(1))

You can't really do data = ['mytitle' 1 2 3 4 5] literally in MATLAB.

data = {'mytitle' 1 2 3 4 5}
figure(1)
plot([data{2:6}])
title(data{1})

Yes, I am aware of that. Is there a way you might suggest?

[Fangjun Jiang]

The code in the answer is the way to do it. I would recommend though, not to combine the string with the numerical data in a cell array, just to provide a title for the plot.

Thanks, I see the change now. I didn't notice that you had changed the coding.
