split input from edit field by a comma in matlab

main.m
% Assuming you have an edit field named "editField" in your GUI
% Let's say the input is "apple,banana,orange"

input = get(editField, 'String'); % get the input from the edit field
splitInput = split(input, ','); % split the input by comma

% splitInput will now be a cell array containing the individual elements
% splitInput{1} will be 'apple', splitInput{2} will be 'banana', etc.

% You can access and use the elements as needed, for example:
firstElement = splitInput{1};
disp(firstElement); % display the first element

% You can also convert the cell array to a regular array if needed
splitArray = cellfun(@str2double, splitInput);

% splitArray will now be a numerical array with the values from the input
