getting the data from the inputdlg box

I have the following codes ..where i have given two variables

1. distance of sensor from system
2. Set point in mm

prompt={'Enter the distance of sensor from system',...  
        'Enter the set point in mm:'}; 

name='Input of control system';

numlines=1;

defaultanswer={'45','125'};

answer=inputdlg(prompt,name,numlines,defaultanswer);

Now when i use these codes value of both the variables are stored in the variable answer..

when in workspace i type following things happen

>> answer

'45'

'125'

here its a cell ..but i want to use it as an input by user without cell..

suggest a way to perform this

There is no way to do that in MATLAB without creating a temporary variable (such as "answer") to hold the values. Once the temporary variable is created, you can use (for example)

[sensdist, setpoint] = answer{:};
