Assign value to structure array field

collapse all in page

Syntax

S = setfield(S,field,value)

S = setfield(S,field1,...,fieldN,value)

S = setfield(S,idx,field1,...,fieldN,value)

S = setfield(S,idx,field1,idx1,...,fieldN,idxN,value)

Description

example

S = setfield(S,field,value) assigns a value to the specified field of the structure S. For example, S = setfield(S,'a',1) makes the assignment S.a = 1.

As an alternative to setfield, use dot notation: S.field = value. Dot notation is typically more efficient.

If S does not have the specified field, then setfield creates it and assigns value to it.

example

S = setfield(S,field1,...,fieldN,value) assigns a value to the specified field of a nested structure. For example, S = setfield(S,'a','b','c',1) makes the assignment S.a.b.c = 1, where the fields S.a and S.a.b are also structures.

example

S = setfield(S,idx,field1,...,fieldN,value) specifies an element of S and assigns a value to one of its fields. For example, S = setfield(S,{3,4},'a',1) makes the assignment S(3,4).a = 1.

example

S = setfield(S,idx,field1,idx1,...,fieldN,idxN,value) specifies elements of fields. For example, S = setfield(S,'a',{2},1) makes the assignment S.a(2) = 1. Similarly, S = setfield(S,{3,4},'a',{2},'b',1) makes the assignment S(3,4).a(2).b = 1.

Field of Nested Structure

Open Live Script

Create a nested structure. In a nested structure, a structure at any level can have fields that are structures, and other fields that are not structures.

S.a.b.c = 1;S.a.b.d = 2;S.a.b.e = struct('f',[3 4],'g',5);S.h = 50
S = struct with fields: a: [1x1 struct] h: 50

While S is a structure, the fields S.a, S.a.b, and S.a.b.e are also structures.

S.a
ans = struct with fields: b: [1x1 struct]
S.a.b
ans = struct with fields: c: 1 d: 2 e: [1x1 struct]
S.a.b.e
ans = struct with fields: f: [3 4] g: 5

Assign a value to S.a.b.d using the setfield function. When you specify a comma-separated list of nested structure names, include the structure names at every level between the top and the field name you specify. In this case, the comma-separated list of structure names is 'a','b' and the field name is 'd'.

S = setfield(S,'a','b','d',1024);S.a.b
ans = struct with fields: c: 1 d: 1024 e: [1x1 struct]

You also can use dot notation to assign a value.

S.a.b.d = 2048;S.a.b
ans = struct with fields: c: 1 d: 2048 e: [1x1 struct]

Fields of Elements of Structure Array

Open Live Script

Assign values to fields of elements of a structure array.

First, create a structure array. As in all structure arrays, each element is a structure with the same fields.

S.x = linspace(0,2*pi);S.y = sin(S.x);S(2).x = S.x;S(2).y = cos(S(2).x)
S=1×2 struct array with fields: x y

You also can assign values using setfield. If a field does not exist, setfield creates it. Create a field named title.

S = setfield(S,{1},'title','y = sin(x)')
S=1×2 struct array with fields: x y title

The setfield function assigns a value to a field of an individual element, but the output argument is the entire structure array.

Display the first element of S.

Indices of Nested Structure Array

Open Live Script

Assign a value to a field of a nested structure, in which the structures at some levels are structure arrays. In this example, S is a 1-by-2 structure array. The second element, S(2), has a nested structure a.b, where b is a 1-by-3 structure array.

First, create a nested structure. After creating the structure using dot notation, create another nonscalar structure array using the struct function and add it as a field.

S.a = 1;S(2).a.b = struct('d',{5,10,20});S
S=1×2 struct array with fields: a
S(2).a.b
ans=1×3 struct array with fields: d

Display the third element of S(2).a.b.

S(2).a.b(3)
ans = struct with fields: d: 20

Assign a new value to the field d of S(2).a.b(3) using the setfield function. Display the structure with the updated field.

S = setfield(S,{2},'a','b',{3},'d',3.1416);S(2).a.b(3)
ans = struct with fields: d: 3.1416

Elements of Field

Open Live Script

Create a structure with a field whose value is an array.

S.a = [5 10 15 20 25]
S = struct with fields: a: [5 10 15 20 25]

Assign values to elements of S.a using the setfield function. To assign values to particular elements, specify indices after the name of the field. You must specify the indices within a cell array. However, specify the new values in an array whose data type matches the data type of the field.

S = setfield(S,'a',{3:5},[0 -50 -100])
S = struct with fields: a: [5 10 0 -50 -100]

You also can use dot notation and array indexing to assign values to the same elements.

S.a(3:5) = [20 40 80]
S = struct with fields: a: [5 10 20 40 80]

Input Arguments

collapse all

S — Structure array
structure array

Structure array. If S is nonscalar, then each element of S is a structure, and all elements have the same fields with the same names.

field — Field name
character vector | string scalar

Field name, specified as a character vector or string scalar.

idx — Indices
cell array of numeric or logical values

Indices, specified as a cell array of numeric or logical values. Indices for S and fields 1 through N-1 specify individual elements of structure arrays. Indices for field N specify one or more elements of the array in that field, which can be of any type.

Example: S = setfield(S,{1,2},'a',1) is equivalent to S(1,2).a = 1.

Example: If S.a = [5 10 20], then S = setfield(S,'a',{[2,3]},[50 100]) is equivalent to S.a(2:3) = [50 100].

value — Values
array

Values, specified as any type of array having any size.
