Here are the possibilities to access structs/cells:</div><div><div>- either use the fact that structs are overloaded mlists: thus you can access them as mlist, and extract/create your data by hand in C++ (that's where some code is needed... we could show you that if needed)</div><div>- or, easier, do the struct <-> mlist conversion on the Scilab side, not on C++ side. That way you only manipulate mlists on the C++ side. Or, for that matter, convert them, on the Scilab side, in/from another format easily managed on the C++ side.</div><div>- now, maybe it's worth looking at Scilab 6, where there are native types "types::struct" and "types::cell" directly in the api_scilab API... which makes things much easier. But the API is not documented (yet).</div><div><br></div><div>We can talk more about it if you need; the right solution may depend of your the exact use case (in terms of performance in particular). Also we strongly suggest that you start looking at Scilab 6 for that; if we have done things right, everything should be easier there :). We can help you on that too...</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div><br></div><div>François</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div>On Oct 26, 2015, at 2:39 PM, Shamika Mohanan <<a href="mailto:shamika.i.nair@gmail.com">shamika.i.nair@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi,<br><br></div>I posted this query on Scilab developer's mailing list but I got no reply.
