i have an app and want a edit field to read in multiple values in matlab

You can use the MATLAB App Designer to create a GUI with an editable field that can read in multiple values. Here is an example of how you can achieve this:

1. Open App Designer by typing appdesigner in the MATLAB command window.

2. In the App Designer window, create a new app or open an existing one.

3. Drag and drop the "EditField" component from the "Common Controls" section of the Component Browser panel onto the app design canvas.

4. Resize and position the EditField component as desired.

5. To allow the EditField to read in multiple values, double-click on the EditField component to open the Property Inspector panel.

6. In the Property Inspector, under the "Field Properties" section, set the "StringType" property to "text".

7. Under the "Callbacks" section in the Property Inspector, you can add a callback function for the "ValueChanged" event to process the multiple values entered in the EditField.

Here is an example of a callback function that reads in multiple values from the EditField and stores them in a cell array in MATLAB:

main.m
function EditFieldValueChanged(app, event)
    inputValues = split(app.EditField.Value, ','); % Splitting the input at commas to get multiple values
    app.MultipleValues = inputValues; % Storing the multiple values in 'MultipleValues' property of the app
end
261 chars
5 lines

Ensure that you have defined the MultipleValues property in the properties section of the app by adding the following code to the properties section:

main.m
properties (Access = public)
    MultipleValues
end
52 chars
4 lines

You can now use the app.MultipleValues property to access and process the multiple values entered in the EditField.

Remember to customize and modify the code to fit your specific needs.

This solution allows you to have an app with an editable field that can read in multiple values in MATLAB.
