dataset arrays - extract and reconstruct variables

I'm trying to extract variables from multiple dataset arrays and compile them into a single dataset array that retains variable names - very straightforward. My problem is that the resulting array groups all input variables into the first column of the output array, rather than parsing each variable into individual columns. For example...
x = dataset({array1.var, array2.var, array3.var})
... returns a nx1 array with all variables grouped into the first column. Similarly....
varspec = ({array1.var,'var1', array2.var, var2', array3.var, 'var3'})
x = dataset(varspec)
... does the same.
Thoughts?

your notation is a little off
x=dataset({array1.var, 'var1'}, {arrray2.var, 'var2'}}
or if var is a string containing the name, then this
x=dataset({array1.var, var1}, {arrray2.var, var2}}

Sam, it may be that you want to combine variables with the same name from different arrays. If that's the case, then something similar to what you're doing is probably the way to go, though I'd do it slightly differently:
x = dataset(array1.var,array2.var,..., 'VarNames',{'var1' 'var2' ...})
But if the variables you're combining already have different names, then I think you'd be better off just using concatenation:
x = [array1(:,'var1') array2(:,'var2') ...]
Hope this helps.
