Assigning Output from a Comma-Separated List
You can assign any or all consecutive elements of a comma-separated list to
variables with a simple assignment statement. Using the cell array C from
theprevioussection,assignthefirstrowtovariablesc1 through c6:
C = cell(4, 6);
for k = 1:24, C{k} = k * 2; end
[c1 c2 c3 c4 c5 c6] = C{1,1:6};
c5
c5 =
34
If you specify fewer output variables than the number of outputs returned by
the expression, MATLAB assigns the first N outputs to those N variables, and
then discards any remaining outputs. In this next example, MATLAB assigns
C{1,1:3} to the variables c1, c2, andc3, and then discards C{1,4:6}:
[c1 c2 c3] = C{1,1:6};
You can assign structure outputs in the same manner:
S = cell2struct(C, {'f1', 'f2', 'f3', 'f4', 'f5', 'f6'}, 2);
[sf1 sf2 sf3] = S.f5;
sf3
sf3 =
