MATLAB: Displaying message in static text box

Question

I have duration and distance.

I want to place duration in one static box so that I can call it from a push button to do a calculation

I want to place distance in another static box.

I wrote this code and it gives me what I want but in the command window I get errors.

CODE:

Direct= {'28 hours'};

Directt= {'(2,967 km)'};

while { (val==2)

    set(handles.text27,'String', Direct);
    set(handles.text29,'String', Directt);
    }

CODE ERROR: Conversion to logical from cell is not possible.

Error in Elevation>popupmenu1_Callback (line 287) while{(val==2)

Error in gui_mainfcn (line 95) feval(varargin{:});

Error in Elevation (line 42) gui_mainfcn(gui_State, varargin{:});

end

Answer 1

Got it

if(val==2) set(handles.text29,'String', Direct) & set(handles.text27,'String', Directt); end

I just used the & symbol to help fix the issue
