Creating a counter loop in MatLab, GUI?

Hello, i'm trying to create a loop counter that will add increments of 1 every time I click a pushbutton. I don't really have any code as of yet since i'm new to programming but i've figured how to detect the button being pushed, and display a number in the static text. It keeps displaying '1', how do I display 1,2,3,.....n for every push? Here is what I have so far. Thanks a bunch
a = 0;
if (handles.pushbutton5)
a = a + 1;
set(handles.text8,'string',a);
end;

@Azzi: As Walter has explained before when I've asked the same question, the "if true, ..., end" appears, when you hit the "code" button when no text is selected.
And what if I want the option to count backwards?
I've tried creating a second pushbutton that produces:
counter = get(hObject, 'UserData') - 1;
However, no effect.

I would avoid mixing the string and the numerical representation, although both are equivalent in this case. So you can add in the opening function:
set(handles.pushbutton5, 'UserData', 0);
and in the callback of this pushbutton:
function pushbutton5_Callback(hObject, EventData, handles)
counter = get(hObject, 'UserData') + 1;
set(hObject, 'UserData', counter);
set(handles.text8, 'String', sprintf('%d', counter));
If the field "text8" is missing, see FAQ: incomplete handles struct

% --- Executes on button press in pushbutton5.
function pushbutton5_Callback(hObject, EventData, handles)
set(handles.pushbutton5, 'UserData', 0);
counter = get(hObject, 'UserData') + 1;
set(hObject, 'UserData', counter);
set(handles.text8, 'String', sprintf('%d', counter));
is what i wrote as the code. What do you mean adding into the 'opening function'
thanks
Thank you very much kind sir, it works. I'm just confused as to why I added
set(handles.pushbutton5, 'UserData', 0);
into opening function. What does that do for me?
It initialized the UserData property to 0. Otherwise the default is [].
Jan , can you please help me create a counter -loop adding strings (Hex values)?

set(handles.text8,'string',num2str(a));

converting a from a num to a string did not do it.
a = 0;
if (handles.pushbutton5)
a = a + 1;
set(handles.text8,'string',num2str(a));
end;
Because every time you have
a=0
Use
a=str2double(get(handles.text8,'string'))
instead of
a=0
yes i understand the code is wrong. so it reads as a = 0 every time. how do i allow some memory of sorts to be stored, so it knows to keep adding intervals of 1 to every click?
a=str2double(get(handles.text8,'string'));
if (handles.pushbutton5)
a = a + 1;
set(handles.text8,'string',a);
end;
I get NaN
In opening function initialize
Set(handles.text8,'string','0')

Anybody else?
i initialized it as
set(handles.text8,'string','0')
a = str2double(get(handles.text8,'string'));
if (handles.pushbutton5)
a = a + 1;
set(handles.text8,'string',a);
end;
but get a constant '1' answer every click.. it will not add +1 to each click and display

The initialization is not in the right place. You should do it in your opening function, not in your pushbutton function

Please post comments in the comment section and not as an answer. Thanks.
put your initial value for counter in Property Inspector's User data property but not in pushbutton callback function. This will increment counter on every click of push button.
