Modify multiple GUIDE Tags in code

Hello,
I would like to modify 18 GUIDE edit text boxes. The default names are edit1, edit2, edit3... Is there a way to access each of them (modifying the Strings, getting the values, etc.) in a loop? Eventually getting the input into an array.
I partially recall something with "eval" that would then be fed to the "set(handles.editX,'String','0')" or whatever, changing the "editX" to the correct number, but not enough to make this work.
Thanks.
Doug

hEdit = gobjects(1,18); % Only available in R2013a or later
for n = 1:18
hEdit(n) = handles.( [ 'edit', num2str(n) ] );
end
will gather them all into an array for you so you can then just refer to them by index.
Wow!!!
Thank you, Adam.
