Purpose

Extracts variables from a structure array.

Synopsis

explode(sdat,mod,txt,out)
options = explode('options')

Description

EXPLODE writes the fields of the input structure sdat to variables in the workspace with the same variable names as the field names. If sdat is a standard model structure, only selected information is written to the workspace. Optional string input txt appends a string to the variable output names.

Options

  • options = a structure array with the following fields:
  • model: [ 'no' | {'yes'} ] interpret sdat as model if possible, and
  • display: [ 'off' | {'on'} ]} display model information.

The default options can be retreived using: options = explode('options');.

Examples

For the structure array x

 >> x.field1 = 2;
 >> x.field2 = 3;
 >> explode(x)
 Input (sdat) is not a recognized model. Exploding as regular structure
 >> whos
   Name         Size                   Bytes  Class
   field1       1x1                        8  double array
   field2       1x1                        8  double array
   x            1x1                      264  struct array

the variables field1 and field2 have been written to the base workspace.
