Convert C struct to matlab struct

Hi all

I have two applications the first is written in c language and the other in matlab language, they are both communicateby using tcp.

Application 1(c language) send struct data to application 2(matlab language).

How can i make matlab recognize the received data as a struct data?

For example :

myfile.h

struct My_struct1
{
      int x;
      int y[10];
};

struct My_struct2
{
      char x1;
      char y1[10];

      float x2;
      float y2[10];

      double x3;
      double y3[10];

      My_struct1 z;
};

I want to send My_struct2 from c to matlab.

Thx

Depends on the medium? How are you communicating with C in MATLAB? a) Are you using MEX files?

In that case you could create a mxStruct of the same type and fill it up with data and send it to MATLAB,

b) Are you using Generic C dlls, (loadlibrary) command in MATLAB that loads a C dll. If thats the case, you can use libstruct to get the data in MATLAB.

Hi Chirag

I am not using any MEX files or any C dll.

The both applications are independent and located at different computers.

Sorry but I accepted the answer by mistake (I posted another one more specified).

Any help ?
