getfield

Arguments

x

matrix of any possible types

l

list, tlist or mlist variable

i

field index, see extraction for more details.

Description

This function is an equivalent of [x,...]=l(i) syntax for field extraction with the only difference that it also applies to mlist objects.

Examples

l=list(1,'qwerw',%s)
[a,b]=getfield([3 2],l)

a=hypermat([2,2,2],rand(1:2^3));// hypermatrices are coded using mlists
a(1) // the a(1,1,1) entry
getfield(1,a) // the mlist first field
