how to extract data from struct?

i have a struct name 'dataset'

i want to extract data from struct in the form of matrix

load dataset.mat
y=dataset.Mert.AOG.bir.TO.jointAngle;

L5S1 has the following data

 struct with fields:

I want to extract each array seperatly .can i use for loop here ,if yes then how ?

The data is already easily accessible via the structure: why can't you just use the structure?

Before you decide to force yourself into writing the slow, complex, very inefficient, time-wasting, difficult-to-debug, obfuscated code required to magically create variables like that, you might like to read this:

https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/304528-tutorial-why-variables-should-not-be-named-dynamically-eval

and also possibly this:

https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/26216-structure-fields-to-variables

The best solution by far is to refer to the data in the structure, and not inefficiently create lots of variables.
