Reading cell array strings into GUI edit text box

Quite a simple question today:

I've got a fairly basic GUI with an edit text box. I've got one main block of code in my push button callback. The code produces a cell array of strings and using a loop at the end of the code I want to populate the edit text box with each row respectively of the cell.

So far I have this at the end of my push button callback (could be in completey wrong place)

for zz=1:length(matchescell)

    message=matchescell{zz,1};
    set(handles.edit10, 'String',message);

end

The only function this has at the moment is to remove the existence of the box on the GUI. I know I'm doing something fundamentally wrong here, there's not much info around looping cell array data into GUIs.

EDIT: I've worked out that the formatting in the strings (line breaks \n) are causing it to not work. I've split the lines up into different columns, so now I need to tell it to do something like this:

set(handles.edit10, 'String',matchescell{v,1} sprintf('\n') matchescell{v,2});

Stephen - try avoiding the loop altogether and just set the string with the cell array, ensuring that your edit text box has multiline enabled.

Stephen - a very simple example would be to set the edit10 text control to multiline and then try the following example in the button callback

   msg = {'hello', 'goodbye', 'seeya', 'ciao'};
   set(handles.edit10,'String',msg);

and all four strings will appear one after the other in the control.

Modified this method to suit my problem, thanks!
