Hello I just have a simple question. I'm working on a project that calculates the resistor value when the user enters a five color code. I cannot figure out how to put each word as a single element in an array. so if I enter the code as a single string: blue black green red orange, I would like to make a(1)=blue, a(2)=black, etc..
Thanks in advance!

This works whether your user enters only commas between words, only spaces, or both (even colons or semicolons!). I test it out in a FOR loop only to see if entering different ways people might use will still get us our values.
for ii = 1:4
% You only need these three lines, no loop.
I = input('Enter the colors you want: ','s');
I(isstrprop(I,'punct')) = ' ';
C = regexp(I(~isstrprop(I,'punct')),'\s+','split')
end
Enter the colors you want: black gold green
C =
'black' 'gold' 'green'
Enter the colors you want: yellow, peach, orange
C =
'yellow' 'peach' 'orange'
Enter the colors you want: purple:spicy:fresh
C =
'purple' 'spicy' 'fresh'
Enter the colors you want: Yummy; grape;cherry
C =
'Yummy' 'grape' 'cherry'

this could work also, but is there a way I could access each word? say if I entered: black green orange the disp(c(1));
it would say black?

C is a cell array. To access the elements, use cell indexing...
>>I = input('Enter the colors you want: ','s');
I(isstrprop(I,'punct')) = ' ';
C = regexp(I(~isstrprop(I,'punct')),'\s+','split')
Enter the colors you want: Yellow, green,purple black
C =
'Yellow' 'green' 'purple' 'black'
>> C{3} % Note {} not (). Could also: disp(C{2})
ans =
purple

thats exactly what I needed! Thanks!
and one more quick question if you don't mind. How would I make all the letters lowercase? so that blue,Blue,BLUE, etc.. can all be entered and a valid comparison to 'blue'

Use the lower() function.

a={'blue' , 'red', 'green'}
a(1)
a(2)
%or
a=struct('color',{'red','blue','green'})
a(1).color
a(2).color

No, then a(1) would be the cell array {'blue'} instead of the string 'blue'

for the first code : use a{1} instead of a(1)

This does what I need, but how would I assign the elements through user input? and all at once without having to press enter after each word.

well the user should input: black red blue orange yellow
this is all at once. then black should be assigned a(1) and so on. but user inputs can obviously change from run to run so I can't just manually assign a(1) to black.

a={'blue' , 'red', 'green'}
idx = listdlg('PromptString','Select a color:',...
'SelectionMode','single','ListString',a)
color=a{idx}

i like this solution and it has worked very well for me. However is there any way to make a listdlg that has multiple options? for example there would be a list for the first band, second band, and third band, then you press ok, and all are assigned to say color1, color2, and color3 respectively? If you could do this that would make my program much cleaner. thank you!

You would have to edit listdlg() so much it became unrecognizable.
Instead, create three uicontrol() of style 'listbox'.

hmm, I can see how that would get complicated. I just wanted a way instead of having 6 different dialog boxes, to just have one so I could enter all the colors in at once.

You can create a figure() that you have the uicontrol() in. listdlg() creates a figure and appropriate controls for its operations; the only difference is that it is already written for you.

Maybe you'd like to use the built-in strtok(). I prefer allwords:
>> theWords = allwords('blue black green red orange')
theWords =
'blue' 'black' 'green' 'red' 'orange'
theWords is a cell array because the words can have different lengths so it cannot be a rectangular character array.

Similar to strtok() is to use regexp() with the 'split' option. After getting the input from the user (e.g., questdlg() or a uicontrol() editbox),
theWords = regexp(S, 'split');
Just as with allwords(), theWords will be a cell array.
Note that theWords(1) would be a cell array containing a string, rather than the string itself. theWords{1} would be the string.
