How to combine the text from two edit text and making it as one text?

Hi team,

I have two text from two separate edit text and i want to represent them as single text in code. My code is as below.

X=char(get(handles.editX,'string'));

Y=char(get(handles.editSNo,'string'));

keyword in folderlist below should be combination of X and Y.

folderlist=dir(fullfile(folderpath,keyword));

Tried in all possible ways, not able to solve, please someone help solving this.

Can you show us what your output X and Y look like?

Have you tried strcat()?

    X = 'C:\temp';
    Y = 'data'
    strcat(X,'\',Y)

    % or

      keyword = 'test.txt';
      X = 'C:\temp'
      fullfile(X,Y,keyword)

X=TR-13-01639(16)

Y=102489473-16*

when i write keyword it has to be TR-13-01639-102489473-16*

   X= 'TR-13-01639(16)';
   Y = '102489473-16*';

   idx = find(X=='(');
   X(idx:end) = [];
   keyword = strcat(X,'-',Y)
