I was having trouble with this code, so I made a slight fix to the sf indexing and now it works fine:

function sf = subfieldnames(ThisStruct)
sf = fieldnames(ThisStruct);
for fnum = 1:length(sf)
if isstruct(ThisStruct.(sf{fnum}))
cn = subfieldnames(ThisStruct.(sf{fnum}));
sf(end+1:end+length(cn)) = cellstr( horzcat(repmat([sf{fnum} '.'], length(cn), 1),char(cn)));
end
end
end

Dear Scott,

> sf(end+1:end+length(cn)) = cellstr( horzcat(repmat([sf{fnum} '.'], length(cn), 1),char(cn)));

Slightly simpler line:
sf = cat(1, sf, strcat(sf(fnum), '.', cn));

Kind regards, Jan
