Hi, I'm trying to add some text that contains codes within it and I want all of it to appear in the (edit box) in the gui what function should I use for example

Best Answer

It is much neater and faster to use sprintf, rather than num2str and concatenating strings together:
>> x = 1;
>> y = 2;
>> sprintf('The winning number is %d and the price is %d', x, y)
ans =
The winning number is 1 and the price is 2
Note that there are many options for converting numeric values (precision,, leading and trailing zeros, etc), so please read the sprintf documentation carefully and pick the format that suits your application best!
