MATLAB: Output a file text in a uicontrol of style ‘static text’

Question

Hallo.

I would like to output a text file in a GUI containg a unique large static text uicontrol (This is meant to be a Help window for another GUI).

I understand that the Text that I want to display should be set as the String property, for example the following code in the CreateFcn callback

Text = 'Hallo world!'
set(hObject,'String',Text)

works fine. But how can I obtain Text from a file which contains (multiline) text? Thanks.

See textscan.

fid = fopen('filename.txt');
if fid < 0, error('Cannot open file'); end
C = textscan(fid, '%s', 'Delimiter', '\n');
fclose(fid);
