How do you request an input inside disp?

In the program i am developing the user is asked to give a name, through an input, to the file he wants to save. I want to make a disp at the end to show the user a message saying his file was saved just as he asked for in the input. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Best Regards

João, you could use inputdlg
prompt = {'Input file name:'};
name = 'File name';
numlines = 1;
answer = inputdlg(prompt,name,numlines)

How do I apply that to this?
subs =input('What should be the name of the file?','s');
name= subs;
dlmwrite('name.in',distancia_minima,'delimiter','\t');
fprintf(fopen('name.in', 'a'), '\n');
dlmwrite('name.in', ALM,'delimiter','\t', '-append')
fprintf(fopen('name.in', 'a'), '\n');
dlmwrite('name.in', ST,'delimiter','\t', '-append')
disp('your file was saved as %chosen_name ')
