Need help concatenating data with struct field name?

I have a struct (s) with Field (name) i'm looking to create a 'name' array so that i can concatenate it with data. the field 'name' is file names and the data is range values calculated from each file.

How can i place the files names in column (1) and the range values that go with each name in column (2)?

What have you tried so far?

flemingtb's "Answer" moved here:

I know the field names for the struct. I tried

F = theFiles.name

that only gives me the name of the first filename in the column.

I also tried

F = ([theFiles.name])

Which is closer, it lists all of the file names but they are not indexed, they are displayed like a huge string.

Create a cell array from the structure field:

names = {s.name}

This syntax uses a comma-separated list:

Once you read them you will understand that my answer is equivalent to this:

C = {s(1).name, s(2).name, s(3).name,..., s(end).name}

that worked great for getting the file names into a cell array. Now i have two options, i need to combine this cell array with the data. The data is a 45x1 double, the file names are 45x1 cell, they are not playing nice with each other.

Is it a data format issue?

Ah i think i've got it.

out = [FileNames,num2cell(data)]
