Executing functions based on user input

2 views (last 30 days)
Hi all,
I am trying to create a way for a user to type in a string of charactors that executes a funciton. I have written the following code to do so:
userString = input('What program would you like: ','s');
if userString == 'nice name one'
nastyFunctionOne;
elseif userString == 'nice name two but longer'
nastyFuncitonTwo;
else
fprintf('you had a typo');
end
function nastyFunctionOne
fprintf('the first funciton executed\n');
end
function nastyFuncitonTwo
fprintf('the second function executed\n');
end
The problem with this is that the first userString and the second userString do not have the same matrix dimensions, so when a user types in "nice name two but longer" errors fly up and 'nastyFuncitonTwo' does not execute.
How would I make it so that the matrix dimmensions agree and the second (or more) funciton will run?
Thanks

clc
clear all
userString = input('What program would you like: ','s')
switch userString
case 'nice name one'
nastyFunctionOne;
case 'nice name two but longer'
nastyFuncitonTwo;
otherwise
fprintf('you had a typo');
end
function nastyFunctionOne
fprintf('the first funciton executed\n');
end
function nastyFuncitonTwo
fprintf('the second function executed\n');
end
