How should I access struct when loaded with importdata?

I have 2 variables called 'see' and 'hear' in 'Task1.mat' file. I am loading 'Task1.mat' using 'importdata' and trying to access see and hear using the code below:

and I am getting the following error:

Thank you.

I avoid importdata like the plague for just such reasons -- it does different things, depending --

In the above code snippet, everything before

task1=importdata('Task1.mat');

is irrelevant and of no value/use -- you replace all those variables immediately, anyway. Remove all that...

We can't really tell just looking at an image what's happening -- attach the .mat file or at least show what

whos -file Task1

returns before running the code with a clear workspace, then

whos task1

after.

If it were my code, and there are the two variables in the .mat file I wanted, I'd just write

load Task1

and use the two variables directly without the overhead of any struct getting in the way.
