Just use indexing:
out = inputdlg(...);
somevar = out{1};
othervar = out{2};
...

@Sachin Dighe: inputdlg returns character vectors in a cell array, not numerics. It is not clear to me what you expect to get by using + on some cell arrays.
If you want numeric values, then you will need to convert the character vectors to numeric, e.g. using str2double or sscanf or the like:
>> out = inputdlg({'A','B'});
>> A = str2double(out(1));
>> B = str2double(out(2));
>> A+B
ans =
7.3
Note that this issue is unrelated to your original question and my answer, so it is unclear why you have unaccepted my answer (which correctly answered your question).
