Extract Structure as a Matrix

Hi, thanks for your time.

I have a 1D structure array (1x8 struct) which has a field in it which is a 1D vector (1x4 double) that I would like to average.

But, when I try to extract the matricies, they come back "one at a time" instead of as a matrix (see example below)

Is there a really simple way to extract as a matrix?

>> src_telemetry.OBC_plate_temp
ans =
  295.0805  295.0250  294.3839  294.2239
ans =
  290.2544  290.2015  289.5120  289.4303
ans =
  285.0093  284.9753  284.2140  284.2107
ans =
  270.4360  270.3716  269.4591  269.6826
ans =
  280.1255  280.0913  279.2793  279.3491
ans =
  304.4068  304.3511  303.7728  303.4941
ans =
  313.9472  313.9159  313.4091  313.0279
ans =
  299.5953  299.5354  298.9181  298.7053

so far this is all I can come up with:

for i = 1:numel(src_telemetry)
    ans(i,:) = src_telemetry(i).OBC_plate_temp;
end

mean(vertcat(src_telemetry.OBC_plate_temp),1);

Thank you! exactly what I wanted.

It does of course beg the question as to whether you need to be working with structs in the first place. If you need to convert to matrix form, maybe matrix form is the way you should be storing things.
