MATLAB: How to create a cell array with the content of a component of a structure

cell arraysstructure

I have a structure called sFiles and I want to put the information that is inside sFiles.FileName inside a cell array called your cell,

I have this code:

for i=1:1:length(sFiles)
yourcell={sFiles(i).FileName};
end

Does anybody know why is not working?

Thanks

It is not working because in your for-loop, yourcell is never indexed by the loop variable i, so the loop code has no idea where within yourcell you want to put things.

A for-loop is, in any case, unnecessary. The whole task can be done in a single command as follows:

yourcell={sFiles.FileName};
