Saving Text Box Input from MATLAB GUI to a variable in workspace

[testing test]

Hi,

I am new to MATLAB GUI and have no idea of how to use it. Here is the image screenshot of my GUI.

What I want is that whatever is written in the text box next to secret message (in string format), it would be saved to a variable sec_info (string type) in workspace whenever the Send! button is pressed.

The code of MATLAB is given below:

function varargout = untitled(varargin)
% UNTITLED MATLAB code for untitled.fig
%      UNTITLED, by itself, creates a new UNTITLED or raises the existing
%      singleton*.
%
%      H = UNTITLED returns the handle to a new UNTITLED or the handle to
%      the existing singleton*.
%
%      UNTITLED('CALLBACK',hObject,eventData,handles,...) calls the local
%      function named CALLBACK in UNTITLED.M with the given input arguments.
%
%      UNTITLED('Property','Value',...) creates a new UNTITLED or raises the
%      existing singleton*.  Starting from the left, property value pairs are
%      applied to the GUI before untitled_OpeningFcn gets called.  An
%      unrecognized property name or invalid value makes property application
%      stop.  All inputs are passed to untitled_OpeningFcn via varargin.
%
%      *See GUI Options on GUIDE's Tools menu.  Choose "GUI allows only one
%      instance to run (singleton)".

Please help me out if possible.
