Hi

You could use the comma-separated list expansion

For example, if you had a struct with 3 fields as follows:

>>s(1).category = 'tree1';s(1).height = 37.4; s(1).name = 'birch1';

>>s(2).category = 'tree2';s(2).height = 37.5; s(2).name = 'birch2';

To convert the 'name' fields into a cell array A,

>>A = {S(:).name}

In your case, it would be:

>> myCell = {mystruct(:).name}
