How to get string field from struct with each element separated

>> x.name

ans =

    '1.33'


ans =

    '1.34'


ans =

    '1.35'
    
>> y = [x.name]

y =

    '1.331.341.35'

I want to get it like that

y = ['1.33' '1.34' '1.35']

as a matrix with three string elements

[Stephen23]

y = {x.name}

And if a string vector is a true requirement, the conversion is easy:

x = struct('name',{'1.33','1.34','1.35'}) % reconstruct the data from OP

x = 1×3 struct array with fields:
    name

y = {x.name}

y = 1×3 cell array
    {'1.33'}    {'1.34'}    {'1.35'}

z = string(y)

z = 1×3 string array
    "1.33"    "1.34"    "1.35"

The problem is you are using char instead of string. '1.33' is a vector of char, so if you make a vector of vectors, it compiles them in a row. To make them string you can write "1.33" instead of '1.33' or string('1.33').

[gonzalo Mier]

for i= 1:length(x)
    y(i) = string(x(i).name);
end
