Acces data in nested structure

Hi everyone,
I have a structure like this:
S.various_substructures.value1.x and S.various_substructures.value1.y
various_substructures are structures of varying fieldnames while the following substructures have the same names. The last structure contains arrays x and y.
I tried it with arrayfun without succes. Any idea to acces the data without a loop?
TIA, Rob

The chosen representation of the data is not useful, as you see. This happens frequently in large programming jobs, because effects of the initial choice of the data structure are not clear in advance. Whenever you observe such a problem, you know that it is time for a refactoring of the complete code. If the program is clean and modular, or even better object oriented (or at least programmed in an object oriented style), there is a small number of locations, which need an adjustment of the objects.

Not really.
You can either use an explicit for loop or an implicit loop using arrayfun or structfun:
>> S.A.value1.x = 1;
>> S.A.value1.y = 11;
>> S.B.value1.x = 2;
>> S.B.value1.y = 22;
>> S.C.value1.x = 3;
>> S.C.value1.y = 33;
>> X = structfun(@(s)s.value1.x,S)
X =
1
2
3
>> Y = structfun(@(s)s.value1.y,S)
Y =
11
22
33

if your various_substructures is an array you can access the value like follow:
for i=1:5
s.var(i).val1.x=i;
s.var(i).val1.y=i^2;
end
x=s.var(3).val1.x;
y=s.var(3).val1.y;

Hi,
You can treat the variable name as string.
- First you should store all the various_subStructures in an array(or cell) in form of string.
- Make a loop and get the name of the variables that you want in string format.
- Then convert the name in the form of string to variable name using commands like genvarname and eval like this

Do NOT do this!
Looping over nested structures will be simpler, more robust, and much more efficient.
Dynamically accessing variable names is one way that some beginners force themselves into writing slow, complex, buggy code that is hard to debug. Read this to know why:
