MATLAB: Showing Results of Serialportlist in a UITextArea

serialportlistuitextarea

Hello, I would like to display the available ports on my PC using serialportlist("available")
I have come across the evalc..code below
              portstring = evalc('display(serialportlist("available"))')
              ReportMessage(app,portstring);
Reportmessage is my own function that adds to a textarea
It works except I get some rubbish first:
  1×2 <a href="matlab:helpPopup string" style="font-weight:bold">string</a> array
    "COM5"    "COM10"
Is there a better way to display the results of serialportlist in a uitextarea?
Thanks
Jason

This seems to work
              freeports = serialportlist("available")
              str=sprintf('%s\t', freeports{1:end});              
              ReportMessage2(app,['Comms Available: ',str]);
