passing data from one fig file to another

in my program using guide i have created 2 gui files one, one does the calculating and sorting the result in order. then i want to view the result of the calculations on a result page which i have created (my second gui) i just want help in transferring the calculation matrix to the results page gui.

i tried the following

after the calculation i called the second gui

a={'123.5','456','743' '432.9', '109','39'};

result(a);

call second gui i debugged it and i saw the variable went to the second m file of the second gui stored in varargin but not the matrix but something like 2x3 cell is stored how do i convert it back to matrix so i can use it in the second m file.and how would i use it in the opening function of the gui as it is not global variable.

help would be appreciated if there was an easy way to pass this matrix from m file to another m file when executing the first m file

Are you sure you want to pass you data as strings and not as numeric data? A set of variable-length strings has to be passed as a cell array, so the cell array you saw in the second gui might have been what you were passing.

it doesn't matter i alread solved the problem i just wanted to find a way to pass any variable from one m file to another .

i just looked at example codes and found the following

result();

varargin=2x3cell

data=varargin{1} because varargin is a 1x1 cell

data='123.5' '456' '743' '432.9' '109' '39'

if i add result(a,'hello','3043')

in other m file you write [a v c] = varargin{1:3}

thanks for the quick response and help
