display the value of a loop count in inputdlg box?

Question

apologies for the rather vague question, i've written a simple for statment, where players is a predetermined integer:

for k = 0:players;
    inputdlg('Enter the name of player (?): ');
end

i'd like to have the section (?) to be automatically populated as the statement counts through the player number. can anyone suggest a way to do this? thanks!

Use sprintf :

for k = 0:players
    st = sprintf('Enter the name of player %d',k);
    inputdlg(st);
end
