How to access the Nth element of 1x1 struct with 5 fields?

Hi,
I have a 1x1 struct with 5 fields defined in workspace. Also, in that struct there are two collumns as "field" and "value". How can I access the name of Nth element of that struct?
When I try,
struct(n)
Matlab gives me following error:
Index exceeds matrix dimensions.
Thank you for your help.

"Also, in that struct there are two collumns as "field" and "value"."
You wrote that the structure is 1x1, so it cannot have "two collumns". Most likely you are getting mixed up by how the workspace / variable viewer displays structures, which by default shows the fields as columns (i.e. nothing to do with the structure size). Rather than rely on a contradictory explanation it would be much more reliable to have the original data to work with.
"When I try, struct(n) Matlab gives me following error"
Of course: if a structure only has one element, what do you expect to get when you try to access its non-existent 2nd element? The same applies for any other array type, not just structure arrays.

Hi Hasan,
I understand that you want to access the nth field in a struct. As Dyuman indicated, you can use the ''fieldnames" function.
Please find code for the same:
s = struct('field1', 1, 'field2', 2,'field3', 3,'field4', 4,'field5', 5); % your 5-field struct
s_fields = fieldnames(s); % use fieldnames
n=2;
nthfield = s_fields{n}; % accessing the nth field
val = s.(nthfield); % val holds the value of the nth field
For more information regarding the "fieldnames" function,you can refer to the following documentation: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/fieldnames.html
Hope this helps! Thanks!

"Who would have guess the curly braces :)"
No guessing is required with MATLAB: FIELDNAMES returns a cell array, as its documentation clearly states.
Also this data type is shown in the command window:
S = struct('x',1,'y',2);
C = fieldnames(S)
