Suppose control is an m-element one-dimensional structure array such that each element contains another n-element one-dimensional structure array W, with a scalar (specifically, LOGICAL) field status. As a simple example consider the synthetic construction
control = repmat(struct('W', struct('status', { false, true, true, false, true })), [1, 5])
In other words, the expression
is valid for all i=1:5 and all j=1:4.
My question is if there is an easy way of assigning W(3).status for all i=3:5 (i.e., a specific j value for a subset of the i range) without using the obvious loop
for i = 3:5, control(i).W(3).status = false; end
I didn't see a good way of persuading deal to do this.
Note: I'm perfectly willing to change my data structure if that's what it takes to simplify the task. Maybe turning W into a matrix is the right choice here (e.g., [control.W(3:5,2).status] = deal(false)). In my general case, though, the number of W elements might be different for each value of i.
