convert cell array with struct information to struct

Hello,

I am using the OPC-Toolbox. The Information of the Item-structure on the server is already given as a 2996x1 cell:

itemID =

Simulator

Simulator.System

Simulator.System.Allow Online Setting

Simulator.System.CRC

Simulator.System.Vehicle1

...

I want to get this old 1x1 struct beginning with "Simulator." back.

because of the autocomplete of matlab.

I am helpful for any Information.

Answer 1

There is a cell2struct function structArray = cell2struct(cellArray, fields, dim)

Answer 2

[Massimo Ciacci]

function structArr = cellArray_2_structArray(cellArr)

N         = numel(cellArr); % N cells with 1 struct each
structArr = repmat(cellArr{1}, N, 1 ); % array of structs
for ii=1:N
    structArr(ii) = cellArr{ii};
end

How about a poor man solution like this? The advantage over cell2struct is that here you don't need to specify the fields already available in cellArr{1}.
