loadFields from mat files
Sometime you need a specific field from a (large) number of mat files. With loadFields, the user can select all the mat files at once, and choose the required field using a pulldown menu. The values are returned as a single array if the field has always the same size, otherwise it returns a cell.
%USAGE:
%data = loadFields returns the values of a structure field
%from one or more files. User is prompted for the required field. If all
%struct fields contain a 1-by-n or n-by-1 matrix of the same size ,
%loadFields will create a single concatated array. In all other occasions,
%loadFields creates a cell with each field containing the field of a
%file.
%
%[data files] = loadFields returns the values of a structure
%field from one or more files, and files used.
%
%[data files fields] = loadFields returns the values of a strucure
%field, the files used, and the selected fields
%
% ... = loadFields(fields) returns the values of the structure fields
% in 'fields'
