How to have a user input prompt more user inputs?

I am writing a script that asks the user to input the number of layers in a composite. If the user inputs "n" layers, I then need "n" number of input dialog boxes to appear and prompt the user to enter information about each layer. Can someone please help???

Thank you.

Read the returned input, check for validity/sanity, then begin a for loop on that number, putting your input request inside. Of course, you'll need to check that return and process as well, so build a routine that does all this and call it in the loop.

N = str2double(inputdlg('How many inputs','N'))
if ~isempty(N) && ~isnan(N) && N > 0 && N < 10 % sanity check!
   prompts = cellstr(strcat('Information about layer #',num2str((1:N).'))) ;
   V = inputdlg(prompts, 'Information') 
   % V is a cell array of N strings
end
