How to display strings with static text and varying numbers in text box?

5 views (last 30 days)
I'm displaying a set of 200 images on screen in order. For each image displayed I have a text box in GUI showing which number is that image out of 200, like a count.
So for example, for the first image displayed, I want the text box showing '1 of 200', and for the second image displayed the text box will show '2 of 200', etc.
My original code was:
set(handles.text1,'String','%d of 200',i)
But it doesn't seem quite right. I guess the single quote is at the wrong place?
Can someone help me?

You need to actually provide one string, not multiple arguments:
set(handles.text1,'String',sprintf('%d of 200',i))
