assign cell arrays to struct

Dear all,

is it somehow possible to assign cell arrays to the "field" and "value" variables within a struct, like test=struct(field,value) where "field" and "value" are cell arrays ?

Thanks

You could use CELL2STRUCT :

fnm = {'hello','world'};
val = {[1,NaN],[1,4,9]};
S2 = cell2struct(val,fnm,2)

S2 = struct with fields:
    hello: [1 NaN]
    world: [1 4 9]

or a comma-separated list:

tmp = [fnm;val]; % the orientation is important!
S1 = struct(tmp{:})

S1 = struct with fields:
    hello: [1 NaN]
    world: [1 4 9]

ca = {1, 'abc', rand(1,4)}

ca = 1×3 cell array
    {[1]}    {'abc'}    {[0.3876 0.4122 0.2440 0.2197]}

test.myField = ca

test = struct with fields:
    myField: {[1]  'abc'  [0.3876 0.4122 0.2440 0.2197]}
