How to read in names of function input arguments as strings?

1 view (last 30 days)
Is there any way I can read in the names of input arguments of function m-files as strings? I have a function m-file: function ([inarg1 inarg2 inarg3]) ... I need the names of the input arguments to display in the output plot. Thanks!

Do you want the names of the variables that users passed in to the call, or do you want to know, "for this function I am executing now, what the names are that I gave the the dummy arguments" (e.g., for producing help information) ?

Actually, I want my function file to accept an array of filenames as input arguments. I'm using fopen to read in the data of each file. I want to generate a plot using data contained in each input file and I want to output the filenames along with the corresponding plot.
