I have a GUI, button and text box, When I press the button, I want a link to appear in the text box, So when I click on the link, it takes me to the site

url = 'http://www.matlabcentral.com'
sitename = 'The MathWorks Web Site'
fprintf('<a href = "%s">%s</a>\n',url,sitename)
set(handles.edit1, 'String', sitename)

You appear to be using GUIDE.
When you use "traditional figures" such as GUIDE uses, then uicontrol style 'edit' and uicontrol style 'text' will not have any HTML respected. HTML is only respected for pushbutton togglebutton checkbox radiobutton listbox popupmenu .
However... if you use any of those, clicking on the link will not do anything unless you configure specially.
Probably the easiest approach is to
url = 'http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentrl'
sitename = 'The MathWorks Web Site'
set(handles.pushbutton1, 'String', sitename, 'Callback', @(hObject, event) web(url))
That is, make it a button whose action is to open the browser.
