Find a value in structure
显示 更早的评论
The answer below that question is.
valuetofind = 58;
find(arrayfun(@(s) ismember(valuetofind, s.cluster), clusters))
But if I want to find one value in different fields?
e.g. 18841 maybe in e1||e2||e3 ,and I want to return the index 4

you can extract the field e1,e2 and e3, then you can use ismember function
I understand that you want to find a value in different fields of a structure and if the value exists, the index should be returned. As Arif Hoq mentioned, you can do that with the “ismember” function. I am attaching the code below to find a value in the different fields of a structure and to return the index of the value:
yourStruct = struct('e1',{1 2 3 18841},'e2',{1 2 18841 4},'e3',{1 2 3 4});
valueToFind = 18841;
fieldsToSearch = {'e1', 'e2', 'e3'}; % Specify the fields to search
index = find(arrayfun(@(s) any(ismember(valueToFind, s.(fieldsToSearch{1}))) || ...
any(ismember(valueToFind, s.(fieldsToSearch{2}))) || ...
any(ismember(valueToFind, s.(fieldsToSearch{3}))), yourStruct), 1);
You can also refer to the MATLAB documentation for the functions used in the above code to obtain more information on its usage and syntax. The links are provided below: -
I hope this helps!
@Vatsal: You can't dynamically reference multiple fields of a struct using a cell array of field names:
yourStruct = struct('e1',{1 2 3 18841},'e2',{1 2 18841 4},'e3',{1 2 3 4})
valueToFind = 18841;
fieldsToSearch = {'e1', 'e2', 'e3'}; % Specify the fields to search
index = find(arrayfun(@(s) any(ismember(valueToFind, s.(fieldsToSearch))), yourStruct), 1);

yourStruct = struct('e1',{1 2 3 18841},'e2',{1 2 18841 4},'e3',{1 2 3 4})
valueToFind = 18841;
fieldsToSearch = {'e1', 'e2', 'e3'}; % Specify the fields to search
index = cellfun(@(f) find([yourStruct.(f)] == valueToFind, 1), fieldsToSearch, 'UniformOutput', false)
Here index gives you the index of the element of yourStruct that contains the first instance of valueToFind in each field in fieldsToSearch. E.g., in this case index tells you that 18841 appears as yourStruct(4).e1, yourStruct(3).e2, and doesn't appear in [yourStruct.e3] at all.
yourStruct(4).e1
yourStruct(3).e2
[yourStruct.e3]
You can do further processing on index to, say, get the index of the first instance of valueToFind in any searched field of yourStruct, and which field it appeared in:
index(~cellfun(@isscalar,index)) = {Inf}
[min_index,field_index] = min([index{:}])
found_field = fieldsToSearch{field_index}
