How to get a specific field from a structure stored in .mat file?

I have saved my structure in . mat using.

filename = 'D:\我的文档\MATLAB\efe\Database.mat';
save(filename,'Data');

Structure got saved . However when I try to load a specific field then I cannot. I used the following line of code for loading.

   S = load(filename,'Data.Images');

But when I click S in work space its empty and I got warning " Warning: Variable 'Data.Images' not found. " I also tried using -struct in save command but it throws error.

The argument to -STRUCT must be the name of a scalar structure variable.

Though It has been saved in .mat file. Below is attached screen shot of.mat file.Kindly guide me how to load Images field from stored structure in .mat file

As far as I am aware you cannot load independent fields of a struct. If you save them as separate variables in the .mat file rather than a struct then you can do this, or you can load the whole struct, extract the field and get rid of the rest of the struct if it is too big.

It is not possible to load an individual field from a struct array in MATLAB.

Thank you very much for the answer :-)

Will it be possible in any moment?
