MATLAB: Creating variable whose name is part of a string

convert string to variable namecreating variable whose name is in string

I have a .mat file as an input for my function and I know that it contains a struct, but I don't know exactly the name of that struct (is different from file to file).
    >> s = load('myFile');
    >> name = fieldnames(s)
    name =
    unknown
where unknown depends on the .mat file input I have.
How can I access s.unknown.X? (I know for sure that unknown have an X and Y field, whatever the input might be)

Basically - dont use eval - its bad! use dynamic fieldnames instead! :)
