MATLAB: How to transfer folder structure to struct data

cddirMATLABstruct

I have big data inside some folder structure.
I need transfer almost whole(bold path) folder structure in my final struct file with data.
Question is: How to do it better than it is? I know I have 'dir' function but how to use it more smart in my case..
Structure like this:
C:\…\folders\release\mode\const\var\…\… .txt
folders=dir(path);
datas=struct;
s_fol=size(folders,1);
for ii=3:s_fol
    cd(path);
    if isfolder(folders(ii).name)                       
        fol_now=folders(ii).name;
        datas.(fol_now)=struct;
        datas.(fol_now).Released=struct;
        mode_folder=dir(strcat(path,{'\'},folders(ii).name,{'\Released'}));
        s1_fol=size(mode_folder,1);
        for ii1=3:s1_fol
            cd(strcat(path,{'\'},folders(ii).name,{'\Released'}))
            if isfolder(mode_folder(ii1).name)
                mode_fol_now=mode_folder(ii1).name;
                datas.(fol_now).Released.(mode_fol_now)=struct;
                datas.(fol_now).Released.(mode_fol_now).dyn=struct;
                var_fol=dir(strcat(path,{'\'},folders(ii).name,{'\Released\'},mode_fol_now,{'\dyn'}));
                s2_fol=size(var_fol,1);
                for ii2=3:s2_fol
                    cd(strcat(path,{'\'},folders(ii).name,{'\Released\'},mode_fol_now,{'\dyn'}))
                    if isfolder(var_fol(ii2).name)
                        var_fol_now=var_fol(ii2).name;
                        datas.(fol_now).Released.(mode_fol_now).dyn.(var_fol_now)=struct;
                        actual_name=strcat(path,{'\'},folders(ii).name,{'\Released\'},mode_fol_now,{'\dyn\'},var_fol_now);
                        cd(actual_name)
                        if exist('config.m', 'file') == 2 
                            % PROCESSING DATA & STORE IN STRUCT
                        end
                    end
                end
            end
        end
    end
end

It does not sound like a good design to use the folder names as field names. Keeping the names in a cell string might be smarter:
data(k).value     = rand(10);
data(k).condition = {'folders', 'release', 'mode', 'const', 'var'};
Deeply nested structs are rarely useful for processing. But if you have a good reason to do so:
% Get all config.m files recursively (It is just a guess, that you need this):
BasePath = 'C:\Temp\';
FileList = dir(fullfile(BasePath, '**\config.m'));
data     = struct([]);
for iFile = 1:numel(FileList)
    Folder = FileList(iFile).path(numel(BasePath)+1:end);
    Keys   = strsplit(Folder, filesep);
    data.(Keys{1}).(Keys{2}).(Keys{3}).(Keys{4}).(Keys{5}) = ???
end
