Run one line or the other Option

I have a code in which I need two options. Either user wants to give message at runtime or want to read from a file.

message = fileread('message.txt'); 
%OR
message = input('Enter your message to embedd: ', 's');

How can I get prompt message in Matlab, either to select a file or enter your message?

Certainy not sure what you want to do but see if https://in.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/msgbox.html does what you want.

Sorry if my question was not clear.

I want both options of file upload or enter message by user at the same time.

Let say matlab prompt me press 0 to enter your message or 1 to upload file.

Hopefully it's clear now?

According to what I understand:

Inp = input('Press 1 or 0');
if ~Inp % if Inp is 0
    message = fileread('sample.txt');
else
    message = input('Enter your message to embedd: ', 's');
end
