MATLAB: Load a variable from base workspace into a edittext field

Question

I have a a function called DataCollector.m The function opens the file explorer using

[FileName,PathName] = uigetfile('*.lcm','Select the MATLAB code file');

Which is in the DataCollector.m file.

So i would like to take the parameter FileName and display it in a edit text field. So i have written

app.EditField.Value = FileName;

Which does not work. How do i solve this?

Answer 1

I solved it by making the variable FileName global in the .m file.
