How to transfer data from a structure field to a new array?

Hi all,

This is likely an extremely easy fix, but I'm new to this and am not entirely sure how to work with a structure. I have a structure with 4 fields (i.e., XY.event.typ XY.event.lat XY.event.epo XY.event.uev). I want to pull the values from the second field (EEG.event.lat) and put them into an existing matrix elsewhere in the code. Right now I can't even seem to pull all the rows from one of the field columns. How can I do this?

Thank you

Is XY a scalar structure? Is XY.event a scalar structure?

XY is scalar. XY.event is not.

vertcat(XY.event.lat)

is equivalent to taking

[XY.event(1).lat;
 XY.event(2).lat;
 XY.event(3).lat;
 ...
 XY.event(end).lat]
