How to remove the ">>" from my input statement?

so before, after running script, my input statement in matlab would appear as shown here " Enter the speed: " But recently it has been appearing like this " Enter the speed:>> ". Is there a way that I can prevent this ">>" from showing up?

The ‘>>’ is the Command Window input prompt. I use the inputdlg and other built-in GUI functions to keep from using the Command Window for inputs. They return cell arrays, so you have to write one further line of code to produce the appropriate string or numerical data from the cells, a small inconvenience for what I consider to be significantly increased utility.

oka, thank you so much for the help! I really appreciate it! I am going to try this out!

As always, my pleasure!

The built-in GUIs make the essentials of interactive programming much easier.

You can use the other GUI capabilities to do more as you need to.

Either you had it in your prompt like this:

s = input( 'Enter the speed:>> ', 's')

Or you didn't use input() and used something like fprintf() or sprintf().

I'd recommend using inputdlg() like Star recommended.
