I have a big structure .mat file called a.mat and it has a structure named stat. stat has filed called day. i.e., stat.day. There are 6 days and I only want to load one day, that is, stat.day(1). Can someone please tell me how I can do this without loading the whole structure in the memory. Thanks

If you have saved the mat file using the version 7.3 then it is possible to load parts of it. For any other version lower then this, I don't think it is possible to load part of a file.

What is the file size?
If you are making the file, try to save it in ver 7.3.

About 8 Gb. And I saved it in ver 7.3.
