iterating over multiple structures using structfun

3 次查看(过去 30 天)
Suppose I have data organized in multilayer structures, where fields of each structure contain data of an individual animal, such as the example below:
data1.animal1.exp1 = 'someData';
data1.animal1.exp2 = 'someData';
data1.animal2.exp1 = 'someData';
...
and suppose I have several different data organized in the same way:
data2.animal1.exp1 = 'someOtherData';
data2.animal1.exp2 = 'someOtherData';
...
The individual structures (data1 / data2) contain complementary data. Now I want to be able to run functions on each element of the data using a combination of cellfun and structfun functions. The reason for this is that I want to keep the data hierarchy consistent.
I am able to do this:
NewData = structfun(@(x) structfun(@myFunction1, x, 'UniformOutput', false), data1, 'UniformOutput', false);
Then I want to run a different function in the same fashion, however that function takes two arguments:
NewData = structfun(@(x,y) structfun(@(x,y) myFunction2(x, y), x, y, 'UniformOutput', false), data1, data2, 'UniformOutput', false);
This does not work, because 'STRUCTFUN only iterates over the fields of one structure.' Is there a way how multiple arguments can be passed into a structfun?
I am able to do what I want in a loop, but I'm a bit obsessed with single line solutions because of convenience and readability of my code.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your answer Rik. Do you have any specific suggestion on how such a wrapper should look like?

Since you want to replicate part of the functionality of structfun you will probably need fieldnames, but otherwise I don't understand what you want well enough to suggest an implementation. That is why I posted my suggestion as a comment, not as answer.

fnames = fieldnames(data1);
temp = cellfun(@(FN) myFunction2(data1.(FN), data2.(FN)), fnames, 'uniform', 0);
result = cell2struct(temp, fnames, 1); %might need ,2) instead of ,1)
