Inputdlg requesting input to provide an output of 6 integers as a row vector

I want to create a row of integers starting by asking an input from a user using the inputdlg function. I just need to make sure the output is a row vector with 6 integers.

Do NOT use str2num! Using sscanf is faster than str2num (and avoids the internal eval call that str2num hides inside):

>> c = inputdlg('Enter six space-separated integers:')
>> v = sscanf(c{1},'%d',[1,Inf])
v =
   1   2   3   4   5   6

To ensure that there are six integers either add an assert:

assert(numel(v)==6,'Input exactly six integers.')

or a while loop:

v = [];
while numel(v)~=6
    c = inputdlg('Enter six space-separated integers:');
    v = sscanf(c{1},'%d',[1,Inf])
end

[ES]

inputdata = [];
while(~isequal(size(inputdata), [1,6]))
    x = inputdlg('Enter 6 integers as space-separated numbers:',...
             'Sample', [1 50]);
inputdata = str2num(x{:}); 
end
