Array of Structures to Structure of arrays

How can I convert an array of structures into a structure of arrays.
I currently have an array of structs of size N that the only way to access it is to call them by
var = struct(1).fieldname
Where the fieldname is referencing a array of 1xM.
When I try to call var = struct.fieldname or var = struct(:).fieldname I only get one value, while I would like to get all values.
I have tried to do struct2cell and cell2mat, but these options expand the nested array.
What I want is to call each fieldname and get a matrix of NxM.

Jan is right that your questions are not quite clear for the reader as described here. But what I've understood is the following:
% Let's say that X is the structure array:
FNames = fieldnames(X); % ALL Field Names residing in X structure array can be obtained
% This part seems to be optional for your exercise:
XX=zeros(length(FNames), 1);
for ii = 1:length(FNames)
xi = getfield(X, FNames{ii}); % Field Values
XX(ii) = xi;
end

% array of structure
M = 5;
for i=1:M
a(i).f1 = rand(1,1);
a(i).f2 = rand(1,1);
end
a
a(1)
% struncrure of array [assuming each field is a scalar in a]
f = fields(a(1));
for i=1:length(f)
b.(f{i}) = [a.(f{i})];
end
b
