Deleting a field from a sturcture

12 views (last 30 days)
I have been trying to delete a field from a structure, but it keeps coming back!
I do rmfield(myStruct,myField) and it shows all the fields that strucuture has and its not on that one, but then I go look at an individual item and its back, and then I go back and look at the structure and its back there too, I am so lost. It looks like its gone, and then poof, its back. Its like herpes.
Any suggestions?

Did you save the results of rmfield back to myStruct?
myStruct = rmfield(myStruct, myField)

Understandable. That would have worked in some languages, ones that have pass by reference, but MATLAB is pass by value.

I know, I think I'm just not to use to working with the structures, which by the way are pretty awesome and perfect for the project I'm doing.
