From the second GUI callback which needs the data, simply use:

H = findall(0,'tag','myeditboxtag');

Where myeditboxtag is the unique tag given to the editbox in the first GUI. Then H will have the handle to that editbox. Once you have this you can then access the 'string' property to retrieve the data.
