The simplest way to process data in a structure is within a for
loop (see Looping Over Structure Elements). A similar effect can be
achieved with the structfun
function, where a user defined
function is applied to each field of the structure. See doc-structfun.
Alternatively, to process the data in a structure, the structure might be converted to another type of container before being treated.
Create a new cell array from the objects stored in the struct object. If f is the number of fields in the structure, the resulting cell array will have a dimension vector corresponding to
[
Fsize(
S)]
. For example:s = struct('name', {'Peter', 'Hannah', 'Robert'}, 'age', {23, 16, 3}); c = struct2cell(s) ⇒ c = {1x1x3 Cell Array} c(1,1,:)(:) ⇒ ans = { [1,1] = Peter [2,1] = Hannah [3,1] = Robert } c(2,1,:)(:) ⇒ ans = { [1,1] = 23 [2,1] = 16 [3,1] = 3 }See also: cell2struct, fieldnames.
