MATLAB: Access data in a nested struct

nested structstring find

Hello,

I have a struct with several levels. For example:

s.L1.L2.L3

what would be the most efficient way to look for a string in Level L3?

Thanks!

Let us name your string field inside L3 as 'Name'.

If you want to access data inside a nested struct,

You can do it by, s.L1.L2.L3.Name = 'String'

Use the syntax shown in the MATLAB documentation:

>> a = {'see','why'};
>> KPI = {'L','L2','L3'};
>> S.(a{1}).(KPI{1}) = 5;
>> S.see.L
ans =  5

Use getfield with a comma-separated list:

a.b.c.d = pi;
x = {'b','c','d'};
getfield(a,x{:})
ans = 3.1416
