getfield - list field extraction

Calling Sequence

[x,...]=getfield(i,l)

Parameters

• 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
