How to simply record a string of sound from the computer microphone?

There is an example of continuous fft, but what I want is simply record a string of sound wave from the microphone for future analysis, say one second or 2 seconds of sound.

Thanks.

@John - try using the audiorecorder. One of the (simple) examples from here is

recObj = audiorecorder;   % create the object
recordblocking(recObj,5); % record for five seconds
play(recObj);             % playback the recording
y = getaudiodata(recObj); % get the audio data

The audiorecorder , recordblocking and audioplayer functions could be helpful.
