StructSearch(input_struct,search_term)
Input:
1.struct (Nested)
2. search string(Case insensitive) to find a member.
Output:
1.Results: [nx4 string] -> [matching_member full_path_of_that_member Class_of_member Description_of_member ]
2.Child_struct= A struct formed with the matching members while preserving the hierarchy.
Application: Useful for nested struct with large number of members. I used it is for MRI data processing.
Eg:
%Example nested struct
P_struct=struct('array_small',[5 6],'array_large',ones(2,3,5),'string', 'Example');
P_struct.N1_strct=struct('string', 'Nested struct 1');
P_struct.N1_strct.N2_struct=struct('string', 'In Nested struct 2');
%Usage
[details, child]=StructSearch(P_struct,'strin');
%output
details =
3×4 string array
"string" "P_struct.string" "char" "Example"
"string" "P_struct.N1_strct.st…" "char" "Nested struct 1"
"string" "P_struct.N1_strct.N2…" "char" "In Nested struct 2"
child =
struct with fields:
string: 'Example'
N1_strct: [1×1 struct]
