How to combine structures with the same name fields?

I've tried looking at other threads on here to see if they applied to me but I couldn't find any. I have several structures, all with the same name fields (two of five shown below).

I wanted to combine these structures of different sizes to make one bigger structure, with the same name fields, so I can later import the single structure into excel. How can I accomplish this?

_

 xswn = 
  26×1 struct array with fields:
    name
    folder
    date
    bytes
    isdir
    datenum

xsw_ = 
  41×1 struct array with fields:
    name
    folder
    date
    bytes
    isdir
    datenum

Did you try

New=[xswn; xsw_]

Wow, I didn't realize I could do that with structures. Thank you!

@rtbme17: structures are arrays, just like cell arrays, numeric arrays, etc:

@Stephen Cobeldick Thanks for the resources. I've only recently been exposed to structures and don't have the strongest background in matlab. Just happy there's help out there!
