How do I swap section of cells within a column in a struct

Hi

I have a 1x144 struct with 7 fields called Test. In one of these fields (Test.Name) I have a column of cells with names of electrodes. I want to swap two sections of these column. Both sections are 32x1 cells (MyData1 and MyData2). Can anyone advise how to do this? Going on other posts here I tried simply - Test(65:96).Name = Test(97:128).Name but get message (Expected one output from a curly brace or dot indexing expression, but there were 32 results). Tried other ways such as loops but no progress.

DataMat = in_bst_data(sFiles.ChannelFile);

Test = DataMat.Channel;

MyData1 = {Test(65:96).Name}'

MyData2 = {Test(97:128).Name}'

That should work fine:

>> [Test(1:6).Name]=deal('dog','cat','fish','bird','horse','rat');

>> MyData1 = {Test(1:3).Name}', MyData2 = {Test(4:6).Name}'

MyData1 =

  3×1 cell array

    {'dog' }
    {'cat' }
    {'fish'}


MyData2 =

  3×1 cell array

    {'bird' }
    {'horse'}
    {'rat'  }

Hi Matt

Thanks for your reply. What I'm looking to do is effectively swap the two MyData arrays within the Test.Name variable so in the example you provided how do I swap the first three cells with the second three? For example change this;

>> [Test(1:6).Name]=('dog','cat','fish','bird','horse','rat');

To this;

>> [Test(1:6).Name]=('bird','horse','rat','dog','cat','fish');

[Test(1:6).Name]=deal(Test([4:6,1:3]).Name)

That worked thanks.
