retrieving data from structure

I am having a weird issue when trying to get data from a structure.

I am using dir to get folder names into the variable FolderNames, I then need to extract the names from there, eg. via.

FolderNames.name{1}

or something? (I have been away from coding for a little while), but I keep running intro trouble. When I run the above code it says "Expected one output from a curly brace or dot indexing expression, but there were 21 results.". But I dont know how to get only result 1 (or 2 or 3, etc.)

Solution: Put the structure into a table and access the table.

FolderData = struct2table(dir); FolderNames = FolderData(3:end,1);
