How do I extract the ith string from a structure that contains i=1:n strings?

I have a structure A.x which contains multiple short strings. (Each string is a date, i.e. '2013-05-15').

If I query as follows, just the first string is returned:

string1=A.x;

However, if I query as follows, I get the first two strings:

[string1,string2]=A.x;

and so forth. I want to extract each string sequentially to store elsewhere, but I can't figure out how to index the structure.

A.x(1,:) doesn't work, A.x{1,:} doesn't work. Multiple strings are being stored in there but apparently as neither an array nor a cell. Or if it is an array, I'm using incorrect indices.

I presume there is some way instead to designate the left hand term such that it assigns the output from the right hand term into separate variables?

Thanks,

Why do you want to use numbered variables? It looks like you already have an array you can index: A(n).x

OK, that answers my question. I was putting the index in the wrong place, after the x rather than after the A.

Thanks
