Use the class() function.

str = 'Test';
num = 1;
strcmp(class(str),'char')
true
strcmp(class(num),'double')
true

Of course, if the entry was prompted with inputdlg, all responses will be returned as strings. In that case, you'll need to try and convert the string to a number and examine the result. If str2num or str2double can't convert a string, they return NaN.
