Adding elements to array without repeating

Hello,

my question is the following: I have a struct file and I need to add all the elements in the vectors contained in the struct in a single vector without repeating them. My struct is shaped like this:

F.a=[226;227;228;229;290]

F.b=[52;102;230;231;232;233;234;235]

F.c=[37;233;234;235]

and so on. I need to put all the elements of the vectors together but avoiding, for example, to show 233, 234 and 235 twice. Is there a way to do that?

Thank you in advance for your answers!

This will work:

result = [F.a F.b F.c];
result = unique(result);

Use ismember(233, F.a) before adding it to F.a.

Hello Yongjian Feng, thank you for your answer

I would like the code to do it automatically, the actual struct file is much bigger than the one I reported

[Yongjian Feng]

Please provide more details. Do you want to merge F.a, F.b, and F.c into a new array, and then get rid of all the duplicated? If so

result = [F.a F.b F.c];
result = unique(result);

[Marco Gualtieri]

Yes, that is what I would like to do. Your idea is the right one, I put it in a loop to make it merge all the substructures of F and now it works. Thank you for your help!
