User input for plot axises titles during a script

I have written a script which extracts information out of machine readable tables and creates a plot; however, I cannot find a way to allow the user to write in what to call the title and axis' of the plot.

I have attempted to use strings but I cannot find a way to "print" them on the plot. Currently, I have the script writing the labels as xlabel('Modified Julian Date (MJD)'); ylabel('Y-Axis'); title('Automated plot of results over time')

Since the x will always be time.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

You can use sprintf

   str = 'time';
   title(sprintf('Automated plot of results over %s',str));

You can alternatively use input.

title_name=input('Title? ','s')
title(title_name);

You can use this to prompt the user for the figure and axis title.
