Propety of variable in one line matlab

I want to get a specific property (location in this case) of the variable that is returned from the function detectSURFFeatures in one line.

The following would work

temp = detectSURFFeatures(imgA, 'MetricThreshold', 1000);

features = temp.Location;

but I need to be able to get features using only one line of code like the

features=(detectSURFFeatures(imgA, 'MetricThreshold', 1000)).Location;

I was wondering if there was any way I would be able to do this

Why do you need one line? It is generally less readable if you try to write it like that.

But if you insist: the subsref function should do the trick.

I need it in one line because I plan on using that in the fun function for blockproc. I am unable to put multiple lines of code in the fun function for blocproc as far as I know. Thank you so much!

You can do it with subsref, but you can also supply a function handle (e.g. B=blockproc(A, sz, @mean2); ), so you can write any length function you like. Just make sure the input satisfies the restrictions of blockproc.
