nestedstruct2cell

NESTEDSTRUCT2CELL converts a nested 1x1 structure array into an MxN cell array

NESTEDSTRUCT2CELL allows for workspace visualization of nested structural arrays, and also offers an alternative method of constructing nested structures through its companion function CELL2NESTEDSTRUCT (also available at MATLAB Central).

Example:

clear S;
S.water.a=111;
S.water.b=222;
S.melon=[];
S.a.b.c.d.e='aaa';
S.q.r=cell(6,2);
[C] = nestedstruct2cell(S)

C =

'water' 'a' '' '' '' [ 111]
'water' 'b' '' '' '' [ 222]
'melon' '' '' '' '' []
'a' 'b' 'c' 'd' 'e' 'aaa'
'q' 'r' '' '' '' {6x2 cell}

Data is stored in the final column irrespective of the nesting level of a given branch. Empty cells indicate that the branch is terminated at the leftmost non-empty nesting level.
