It is possible to use sprintf to print a string input?

Hi, I´m trying to print what the user inputs as a string, but it´s not working with this code below:

Thanks!!

clc, clear, close

vi=input('Indicate the name of the independent variable: ','s');

Unable to run the 'fevalJSON' function because it calls the 'input' function, which is not supported for this product offering.

c1= sprintf('Indicate the units of the variable %0.0s',vi);
vi_u=input(c1);

Are you doing this in Matlab Online, or do you have a directory or a script/function called "input"?

Hi! I don´t use the online version, but when I run the code here it appears that message that you can see on the code i provide:

Unable to run the 'fevalJSON' function because it calls the 'input' function, which is not supported for this product offering

here it´s my code without that:

clc, clear, close
vi=input('Indicate the name of the independent variable: ','s');
c1= sprintf('Indicate the units of the variable %0.0s',vi);
vi_u=input(c1);

I think you want

c1= sprintf('Indicate the units of the variable %s',vi);

rather than

c1= sprintf('Indicate the units of the variable %0.0s',vi);
