send variables to menu

The menu function takes string input (text, options). Is there anyway to pass variables to the string. For example:

A = [red blue green] or A = 214

B = menu('You chose: A(1)', 'Y', 'N')

B = menu('You chose: {A}', 'Y', 'N')

Or do I have to do it the long way with fprintf and if statements?

The first input to menu() is just a string. So you can pass in any string that can you can compose from your variables. Why not do something like this:

A = 214
B = menu( sprintf('You choose %f', A(1)), 'Y', 'N')

A = {'red','green','blue'}
B = menu( sprintf('You choose %s', A{1}), 'Y', 'N')
