How to reference a variable in a promt to the user, where the variable will change based on the input csv file

Hi all,

I am having trouble using the promt, but embedding a variable in the prompt text that asks the user wether they want to plot this data or not,

clear all; clc

[file_list, path_n] = uigetfile('.csv', 'select all the files needing to be processed', 'Multiselect', 'on');

if iscell(file_list) == 0
    file_list={file_list};
end

for i = 1:length(file_list)
    filename = file_list{i};
    data_in = readtable([path_n filename]);
    W=width(data_in)
    figure 
    vNames = data_in.Properties.VariableNames;
    
    
    for i =2:2:(W-1)
      t = i
    time = data_in(:,t)
    i = i+1
    d = i
    data = data_in(:,d)
   % then i need to ask user if they want to plot data 
   % of the specific name of the data being pulled from the table
   % or delete it
    
   plot(data.(1),time.(1),'DisplayName',vNames{d-1})
   

   legend
   

   hold on
  
    end 
end 

for example

"would you like to plot 'Low_PressureValueY'" y/n

and the next one would be

"would you like to plot 'Pressure_DE_InletValueY'" y/n

for even numbers of i to w

If anyone could help me out it would be much appreciated,

i am trying to pull the names from a cell, the xlsx file is attatched,

Kind regards,

Brandon

how about:

fprintf('Would you like to plot %s ? (y/n)', vnames{d-1})
