make list with columnames

Is there a proper way to make a list with the columnnames of a table?

[Adam]

A list in what context? In a UI? On the command line? Saved to file?

[Brecht Leenmans]

list = {'column names of the table'};

[indx,tf] = listdlg('ListString',list);

Column names of your table, say T, can be extracted by T.Properties.VariableNames. The following is a simple example.

% Sample table
load patients
T = table(Gender,Age,Height,Weight,Smoker,Systolic,Diastolic);

% Extract column names and save as 'list'
list = T.Properties.VariableNames;
