<h4 class="subsection">6.1.5 Processing Data in Structures</h4>
<p>The simplest way to process data in a structure is within a <code>for</code>
loop (see <a href="Looping-Over-Structure-Elements.html#Looping-Over-Structure-Elements">Looping Over Structure Elements</a>). A similar effect can be
achieved with the <code>structfun</code> function, where a user defined
function is applied to each field of the structure. See <a href="doc_002dstructfun.html#doc_002dstructfun">doc-structfun</a>.
<p>Alternatively, to process the data in a structure, the structure might
be converted to another type of container before being treated.
<!-- struct2cell src/ov-cell.cc -->
<p><a name="doc_002dstruct2cell"></a>
<div class="defun">
— Built-in Function: <b>struct2cell</b> (<var>S</var>)<var><a name="index-struct2cell-453"></a></var><br>
<blockquote><p>Create a new cell array from the objects stored in the struct object.
If <var>f</var> is the number of fields in the structure, the resulting
cell array will have a dimension vector corresponding to
<code>[</code><var>F</var><code> size(</code><var>S</var><code>)]</code>. For example:
<pre class="example"> s = struct('name', {'Peter', 'Hannah', 'Robert'},
'age', {23, 16, 3});
c = struct2cell(s)
⇒ c = {1x1x3 Cell Array}
c(1,1,:)(:)
⇒ ans =
{
[1,1] = Peter
[2,1] = Hannah
[3,1] = Robert
}
c(2,1,:)(:)
⇒ ans =
{
[1,1] = 23
[2,1] = 16
[3,1] = 3
}
</pre>
<!-- Texinfo @sp should work but in practice produces ugly results for HTML. -->
<!-- A simple blank line produces the correct behavior. -->
