What does "Struct(1).file=Out_mat" mean?

I have a script that begins as follows:
clearvars -except Struct
program =2;
addpath(genpath('G:\DATA SUM\ISI\310815\Aug.31,2015 15.44.55\TimtomlineData'));
if program ==2
clear all
close all
clc
load('Cycle_1.mat');
Struct(1).file=Out_mat;
Can someone help me figure what line: "Struct(1).file=Out_mat" does?
If the rest of the script is needed I would happily add it.
Thank you all, Sigal.

"I have a script that begins as follows:..."
Hopefully you were given that script as an example of how not to write code.

Looks like 'Struct' is a structure array with a field named 'file'. The code is saving Out_mat to the first (1) value in the 'file' field.

The whole excerpt you've posted is of poor quality. Unnecessary clear (twice!), close, inconsistent formatting, unnecessary path manipulation, load without a target, use of variable name that only differs from a basic matlab function name by case, meaningless variable name...
Presumably, the Out_mat variable is popped into existence by the load('Cycle1.mat'). That matrix is then assigned to the file field of the 1st element of the possibly non-scalar structure called Struct. That's all.
