Getting one field data using other field in struct

Hello, I have a structure

I want to get the data of 2nd field but not using app.temp.Channel(2).data

I want to use the name field instead.

something like

mydata = app.temp.Channel.data(app.temp.Channel.name == 'U1');

but I have error (Error using == ; Too many input arguments).

May I know some suggestions, How to do this in a simple manner without using complex for loops.

You posted the same question 3 times. I'll close two of them.

Does this work?

app.temp.Channel.('U1')

@Temu Gautama, No it does not work.

Reference to non-existent field 'U1'.

@John, No I did not submit the question 3 times. there is a delay with the community site now, I don't know why. While autosaving the question, it is posted multiple times I guess.

Ah, sorry, misinterpreted the table. Then it should be something like this:

mydata = app.temp.Channel.data( cellfun(@( x )strcmp( x, 'U1' ), {app.temp.Channel(:).name} ));

@Temu Gautama, I am getting error again.

Expected one output from a curly brace or dot indexing expression, but there

were 3 results.

[Temu Gautama]

Hmm let's see

{app.temp.Channel(:).name}

should give you

ans = 
    'U1'    'U2'    'U3'

So if you do the cellfun-strcmp

cellfun(@( x )strcmp( x, 'U1' ), {app.temp.Channel(:).name} )

it should yield

ans =
     1     0     0

which is then used for (logical) indexing. So I don't really see where the error is coming from. Could you try these lines separately?

[Timon Rayis]

{app.temp.Channel(:).name}

For this line, I am getting

ans = 
    1x3 cell array
    {'U1'} {'U2'} {'U3'}

[Timon Rayis]

Also, for

cellfun(@( x )strcmp( x, 'U1' ), {app.temp.Channel(:).name} )

I am getting

ans = 
    1x3 logical array
    1  0  0

[Timon Rayis]

but when I try

mydata = app.temp.Channel.data( cellfun(@( x )strcmp( x, 'U1' ), {app.temp.Channel(:).name} ));

It says

Expected one output from a curly brace or dot indexing expression, but there
were 3 results.

@Temu Gautama Thanks.

I made a small change (.data) in that line comes at last.

And now I can get the data.
