MATLAB: How to pass new value of parameter from GUI into .m script

guiguidescript

Hello, I want to make simple GUI for my script, where I can edit parameter values and running that script.
I've created example scipt and GUI with 2 buttons. I'cant put script code into GUI code, I will need to aply it on much larger script.
So, example script code:
number = 10;
variable(1:10) = NaN;
for i = 1:10;
    variable(i) = i * number;
end
figure
plot(variable)
Push button code which runs the script, that is working fine. "script" is name of .m file, not function:
function pushbutton1_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
% hObject    handle to pushbutton1 (see GCBO)
% eventdata  reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB

% handles    structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)

evalin('base','script')
But I dont know what to type into edit button code If i want to change value of "number" in the script:
function edit1_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
% hObject    handle to edit1 (see GCBO)
% eventdata  reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
% handles    structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)
% Hints: get(hObject,'String') returns contents of edit1 as text
%        str2double(get(hObject,'String')) returns contents of edit1 as a double
And last thing, sometimes when I try to plot more graphs, one figure overwrites GUI figure and I can see only buttons, but not whole GUI.
Thank you fot any help. I was asking similar question several days ago, but I deleted it by mistake.

Use a function instead of a script and it is trivial
number = str2double( get( hObject, 'String' ) );
myFunc( number );
It doesn't make much sense to be combining GUIs with scripts.
