I have a 66x1 struct and want to transform into a 1x1. The struct contains logical, numerical, datetime and string fields. I used
for fieldCtr = 1:length(myfields)
if isnumeric(getfield(oldstruct,myfields{fieldCtr}))
eval(['newStruct.' myfields{fieldCtr} ' = [oldstruct.' myfields{fieldCtr} '];'])
else
isstring(getfield(oldstruct,myfields{fieldCtr}))
evalc(['newStruct.' myfields{fieldCtr} ' = [oldstruct.' myfields{fieldCtr} '];'])
end
end
It works for every data type. except that the strings are now concatenated and all the fields that cointain strings became one huge string.
How can I avoid that? Or is there any smarter way to downsize the entire struct?

The only difference between eval() and evalc() is that evalc() "captures" any text that results from executing the command (such as by a disp() or fprintf()) and makes that text available. There is no difference in how eval() or evalc() treat numeric vs non-numeric fields.

nfield = length(myfields);
newStruct = cell2stuct(cell(nfield,1), myfields);
for fieldCtr = 1 : nfield
thisfield = myfields{fieldCtr};
sample = oldstruct(1).(thisfield);
if isrow(sample)
newStruct.(thisfield) = vertcat(oldstruct.(thisfield));
elseif iscolumn(sample)
newStruct.(thisfield) = horzcat(oldstruct.(thisfield));
else
nd = ndims(sample);
newStruct.(thisfield) = cat(nd+1, oldstruct.(thisfield));
end
end
This code tries to be intelligent about how to arrange the results. It turns rows into 2D arrays by vertical concatenation; it turns columns into 2D arrays by horizontal concatenation; it turns other arrays into one higher dimension by concatenating one dimension higher than it already is (so for example, two 32 x 64 arrays would not turn into 64 x 64 or 32 x 128, and would instead turn into 32 x 64 x 2)
You might want to make an exception for character vectors: instead of creating a character array, you might want to create a cell array of character vectors, so as to allow for the possibility that the character vectors are different lengths.
