Variable user inputs (ie test numbers) to be used in a function

Hello,
I am trying to write a code to allow a user to enter multiple test numbers which will then be processed using a function that I have already written (euro).
The test numbers will be in the format CX 2013-05-30 XX (test facility code, date, test reference number).
What I would like to happen is the user enters a number of tests into command interface (or external UI) which is written into a matrix (so I can call each number in turn into the function). It would also be preferable that the number of user input are also recorded for the loops.
Anyone here have any advice?
Cheers
Matt

Don't use the command line unless you REALLY have to.
list = {};
more = true;
while more
string = input('enter your stuff');
if strcmpi(string,'some "end" code')
more = false;
else
... process and store string in the right fashion, and log it
end
end
I would suggest that you use excel instead. That way your user writes a spreadsheet logging stuff, and use "xlsread" in the way you want to get the data. Or read it from a text file.

nargin will do.
In your function, add conditions checking the number of input arguments (nargin).
doc nargin
will tell you what you need
