Array Keeps creating 0's in my Loop

The issue I am facing is my array (B) keeps reseting or losing the values that is being saved into it. I believe the issue is within the first three lines where I attempt to convert info(cell) into counter(double array)

B=[];

%I believe the issue lies here will I am getting the information for how

%long i want the loop to be

info=inputdlg('How many variables do you want to create a ratio for (2-5)');

convert1=cell2mat(info);

counter=str2double(convert1);

%I have done tests if I change counter to a number say '3' The B array

%will store information correctly

for p=1:1:counter

list = {'1','2','3','4','5'};

[indx,tf] = listdlg('PromptString',sprintf('Select Variable----->1=Resident , 2=Education , 3=Office , 4 =Toilet, 5=storage')...

,'ListSize',[500,250],'SelectionMode','single','ListString',list);

B(1,counter)=indx;

end

Your problem lies in the line

B(1,counter)=indx

counter is the max value of the loop and doesn't change - you should use the loop iterator p instead

B=[];
