split struct based on description

Hi. How do you subdivide the struct into multiple structs as shown in the figure?

 Accepted Answer

C = {S.SeriesDescription};
S_scout = S(strcmpi(C,'Scout'))
S_serie = S(strcmpi(C,'Serie'))
S_stand = S(strcmpi(C,'Standard'))
If you want to do it "automatically" for multiple different strings:
Note that splitting up data is rarely a good approach to processing data. Usually keeping data together makes it easier to process.

How can I do it if I want to directly use the names in the cell and create the substructures simultaneously?
C = {S.SeriesDescription};
myCell = {'Scout'; 'Serie'; 'Standard'};
K=1;
name_1 = myCell{K,1};
S_1 = S(strcmpi(C,name_1));

If you really want to force yourself into writing slow, complex, inefficient, obfuscated, buggy code that is harder to debug, you can find plenty of examples linked here:
