Vector concatenation in MATLAB GUIDE using sample selection provided by input dialog

Hello,

I am trying to use vertcat to concatenate audio samples selected from a wav file specified by an input dialog. I am able to select one sample using input from the dialog and to add that to the vector, but rather than adding subsequent selected samples to the end of the vector, it overwrites the existing values. Please can anyone spot what i am doing wrong? Both the input dialog and the concatenating of the vector are activated using push buttons in the GUI. The code for both buttons is as follows:

Many Thanks Andy

% --- Executes on button press in pushbutton3.
function pushbutton3_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
% hObject    handle to pushbutton3 (see GCBO)
% eventdata  reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
% handles    structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)

global sampleTemp;
y = handles.y;
sampleLoc = handles.sampleLoc;

prompt = {'Enter sample start:','Enter sample end:'};

dlg_title = 'Enter values';

num_lines= 1;

def     = {'1','2'};       %default

answer  = inputdlg(prompt,dlg_title,num_lines,def);

A = getfield(answer,{1});    %first input field

A = str2double(A);

B = getfield(answer,{2});   %second input field

B = str2double(B);

sampleTemp = y(sampleLoc(A):sampleLoc(B));

handles.sampleTemp = sampleTemp;

guidata(hObject, handles);

sampleTemp = handles.sampleTemp;

sample1 = handles.sample;

sample1 = vertcat(sample1, sampleTemp);

clear sampleTemp;

At the end of pushbutton4_Callback you need to code

handles.sample = sample1;
guidata(hObject, handles);

Thanks for the help Walter. Much appreciated!
