Use a wildcard to look for values in struct

I have a nested struct where I always know the name of the first and last level, but the way the data gets exported into matlab the middle field will always be different.
For example:
data.A005_RC_B.value
I'd like to be able to load data into the GUI and not have to worry about the renaming. Is it possible to call a variable using a wildcard so that if I load a file it I can see what 'value' is by:
data.*.value
If that's not possible, is it possible to remove the middle field or rename the middle field. It's really unecessary but I can't do anything about it because of how the software I'm using exports their data into matlab.
Thanks

Is there only one middle field ?
If thats the case you can do as follows
% s = your struct
f = filednames(s);
v = getfield(s,f{1},'value');
