I apologize if this is a rookie question--I'm still learning MATLAB. I have a script which requires the user to enter inputs via the input('some question :', 's') prompt. I know that '\n' skips to the next line in the 'some question' part of the argument. I would like to do something similar, but '\n' doesn't seem to do the trick.

Because my script prompts the user with multiple questions in a row, I would like to leave a blank line between each prompt to improve readability. Is this possible? Thanks in advance.

fprintf('\n') underneath the line you're trying to make a space for.

Thanks much! So simple in retrospect...

Why not move from the primitive command line age into the modern GUI age with inputdlg() instead?

worked perfect.

just add before or after the "input prompt" depending where you want the blank line.

For example in my case I did so:

    prompt = ['Enter <1> for Case 1:Boost control or' newline 'Enter <2> for Case 2: Boost + inj.Fuel control:' newline ':    '];
    xx = input(prompt);
    fprintf('\n')        % this command skips a line in the Command Window just to improve readability

and the result in Command Window shows like this"

Hence now the cursor moves to the third line where I enter my value (in this case "1")
