Can I get command window strings to display (live) in App Designer?

I have a 'master' script that runs other scripts which process test data I have for my thesis.

Rather then opening and running the 'master' script and getting my results and graphs, I am building a very simple push button app. Both the 'master' script and push button work. I press the button and all my graphs and excel tables are generated.

I am only a beginner at matlab so this next step has confused me. I would like to show information that the command window displays in the app gui. Whether this is done with a textbox, listbox, or figure I dont know. Is it possible to display this data and update it live just like the command window does?

I simply want to show when the 'master' script starts or finished running another script.

This is an extract of the code in the 'master' script'.

set(groot,'defaultFigureVisible','off')

%-----------------Run 1-----------------%
START_1 = 'Run 1 Starting';
disp(START_1)

run_1;

END_1 = 'Run 1 Finished';
disp(END_1)

clear

%-----------------Run 2-----------------%
START_2 = 'Run 2 Starting';
disp(START_2)

run_2;

END_2 = 'Run 2 Finished';
disp(END_2)

clear

%-----------------Run 3-----------------%
START_3 = 'Run 3 Starting';
disp(START_3)

run_3;

END_3 = 'Run 3 Finished';
disp(END_3)

clear

%-----------------Script Complete-----------------%

FIN = 'Data Processing Complete';
disp(FIN)

%=====================================================%

set(groot,'defaultFigureVisible','on')
clear

I would like the text displayed in the command window for this code, also be shown in my GUI (if possible).

Hi Harrison Schipke!

Try this. I have tried it and works, but if you compile and create a .exe, it does not.
