Numerical Input in Pop-up box

Hi, I have a code that asks for inputs of numbers from the user. Currently it asks for inputs in the command window, but I would like it to ask in a pop-up box. When I use the inputdlg command it won't accept the values as numbers for later use, so I was wondering if there is a different way to ask the user for numbers in a menu so that it will know they are numbers.

This is the code that currently works for the command window:

askstartinch="What inch did you start from?\n";

start_inch=input(askstartinch);

askendinch="What inch did you end at?\n";

end_inch=input(askendinch);

asktrial="What trial number is this?\n";

trial=input(asktrial);

This is the code that I tried with the popup boxes, but it won't accept the values as numbers for later use in the code:

start_inch=inputdlg("What inch did you start from?");

end_inch=inputdlg("What inch did you end at?");

trial=inputdlg("What trial number is this?");

I would perfer the menu to have all 3 questions in popup box, but either way works I just can't seem to get it work. Thanks!

Try something like this —

trial_info = inputdlg(["What inch did you start from?","What inch did you end at?","What trial number is this?"], "Trial Info:", [1 50]);

start = str2double(trial_info{1})

finish = str2double(trial_info{2})

trial_nr = str2double(trial_info{3})

Make appropriate changes to get the result you want.
