How to store results of a Structure

Hi,

I am trying to save the output of a structure call.

info_h5 = hdf5info('hdf5_file.h5');
get_FileNames = info_h5.stuff.morestuff.FileNames  

info_h5.stuff.morestuff.FilesNames returns 4 string outputs when I run it in command. However, the variable, get_FileNames, only equals the first of the 4 outputs. i.e. get_FileNames = '/file_1'.

How do i store all the outputs of this multilayered structure?

Thanks

Convert to the cell array as

get_FileNames = {info_h5.stuff.morestuff.FileNames};    % enclosed in {} brackets

then access the data as

>> get_FileNames{1}    % output 1
>> get_FileNames{2}    % output 2
>> get_FileNames{3}    % output 3
>> get_FileNames{4}    % output 4
