Converting rad to deg in a static text box GUI?

I have a edit text box which the user will put the radians in, then i want the static text box to the side of it to show the value in degrees automatically. I have tried:

set(handles.text6_camberdeg,'String',angledim((get(handles.edit4_camberrad,'String')),'radians','degrees'));

my edit text box is tagged: edit4_camberrad my static text box is tagged: text6_camberdeg

The problem is that you are passing ANGLEDIM a string and expecting a string output. It takes and returns doubles, not strings.

D = str2double(get(handles.edit4_camberrad,'String'))*180/pi;
set(handles.text6_camberdeg,'String',num2str(D));

Hi Matt,thanks for that. I'd tried that str2double before but couldn't get it to work because of the string reason :)

It's now working, only i cant seperate it from the previous function coding above and so its calling the input in a differnt text box. How do i seperate this?

Cheers
