Hello,
I am creating a GUI program (with GUIDE). In it, I need to ask the user to add comments to a file before it is exported.
I would like to have a dialog box where the user can insert a text that is as long as they wish, and that text might also include carriage returns.
I think that the best way to save this text, is as the new String data type. It appears that none of the input dialog box functions can accomodate strings, but rather chars.
Any suggesstions?
Thanks in advance!

Thank you KSSV, but this is not what I am looking for:
  1. "input" is not a GUI function.
  2. It returns a char vector and not a string.
  3. The user cannot use the return key as a carriage return.
