Setting Variable Text Based on Radio Button

2 views (last 30 days)
I want to have 4 variations of the same format to display 4 sections of predefined text when a radio button is pushed. How would I do this?

Can you elaborate a little? You mean you want 4 radio buttons each with one of your options on? One radio button isn't really a radio button at all. What do you want to format?

Yes there are 4 buttons and for each button a selection of 4 texts that I want to display. So each button will display 4 messages.

Try something like this:
masterString = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890';
radioButton1Value = get(handles.rad1, 'Value');
radioButton2Value = get(handles.rad2, 'Value');
radioButton3Value = get(handles.rad3, 'Value');
radioButton4Value = get(handles.rad4, 'Value');
if radioButton1Value
index1 = 1; % Whatever....
index2 = 3; % Whatever....
elseif radioButton2Value
index1 = 10; % Whatever....
index2 = 30; % Whatever....
elseif radioButton3Value
index1 = 15; % Whatever....
index2 = 26; % Whatever....
elseif radioButton4Value
index1 = 22; % Whatever....
index2 = 31; % Whatever....
end
substring = masterString(index1:index2);

Not working on it now will hopefully get it working and get you your rightful answer allocation.
Can you just explain this part, as what each component does? As I need 4 strings of multiple words for each button
index1 = 1; % Whatever....

Let's say your string is 100 characters long. Exactly how are you going to tell the program what character to start on and what character to stop at? Somehow you have to tell it a starting and stopping index from which to extract a substring.
