remove specific array in struct

Hey guys,

I'm stuck with one simple issue. I am practicing on 'struct' now. As practice, I created a stuct 'account' with fields 'owner', 'balance', and 'number' which is 1x3 array.

Then I was trying to creat the second account 'account(2)', however I accidentally typed 'account(2).name' which made a 1x4 array.

Tried rmfield, but failed:"Subscripted assignment between dissimilar structures."

Can someone help? Thanks

account(2) = rmfield(account(2),field)

A struct array has the same fields for all elements.

You cannot remove a field from only account(2)

try typing

account

account = struct('owner','Harry','balance',0,'number',42)

account =

struct with fields:

owner: 'Harry'

balance: 0

number: 42

>> account(2) = struct('name','Harry','balance',0,'number',42)

Subscripted assignment between dissimilar structures.

>>Not sure how you created it

>> account(2).name = 'Harry'

account =

1×2 struct array with fields:

owner

balance

number

name

>> account

account =

1×2 struct array with fields:

owner

balance

number

name

>> account = rmfield(account,'name')

account =

1×2 struct array with fields:

owner

balance

number

or maybe

account(2).owner = account(2).name; # first
