How can I filter struct according to strings in field?

I have 1132x1 struct array with fields:

    Geometry
    BoundingBox
    X
    Y
    STYP

In field STYP can be strings like EC030, EB010, EA040, etc... For me are only important rows (in struct) with string EA030 (in field STYP).

wantedelements = yourstructure(strcmp({yourstructure.STYP}, 'EA030'))

{yourstructure.STYP} concatenate all the STYP fields into a cell array that you can then compare to your string to filter your array.

It works. Thank you

Hi!

I know this was answered a few years ago but is there a way to use this syntax with regex? What I mean is instead of giving a string like 'EA030' here, I would like to retrieve all the elements of a field that match a specific pattern, for instance all the text files.

I tried this:

wantedelement = foldersinfo(strcmp({foldersinfo.name}, '*.txt'))

but it returns an empty struct array.

Thank you very much for your help in advance.
