How can I have a user select multiple options and quantity of each?

17 views (last 30 days)
I am trying to write a function that has the user select which options they want and how many. So either in a display window or the command window, it would show something like:
Tanks: ____
Infantry: ____
Artillery: ____
Fighters: ____
Then the user could input numbers into the window which would result in an array [1, 10, 0, 2] indicating 1 tank, 10 infantry, 0 artillery, and 2 fighters.
I have tried uicontrol and although I didn't get it to work, I may be using it wrong. A display window like "menu" would be ideal, but the command window works just as well. I would supply my script that I currently have, but I really have nothing so far. Any insight is appreciated.

You can use inputdlg.
If you want to make something more sophisticated, you could create an app with App Designer.

You can convert it to a numeric array as such:
x = {'2';'0';'3';'0'}
x = 4×1 cell array
{'2'} {'0'} {'3'} {'0'}
str2double(x)
ans = 4×1
2 0 3 0
