Print all elements of a struct

I am just approaching Matlab, I have a function with a struct:

function [out] = struct1()

Account(1).name = 'John';
Account(1).number = 321;
Account(1).type = 'Current';

%.......2 to 9 

Account(10).name = 'Denis';
Account(10).number = 123;
Account(10).type = 'Something';

for ii= 1:10
out=fprintf('%s\n','%d\n','%s\n',Account{ii}.name, Account{ii}.number,Account{ii}.type);
end
end

The above code gives me an error: "Cell contents reference from a non-cell array object."

How do I output all elements of such struct to get this output using "fprintf"?

name: 'John'

number: 321

type: 'Current'

          ...... 2 to 9

name: 'Denis'

number: 123

type: 'Something'

You are indexing the elements of the struct array with { and } which are only used for cell arrays. Simple ( and ) will work just fine.

Also, since you have the line breaks in the formatspec, you should just combine all three strings together.

Example:

formatspec = 'name: %s\nnumber: %d\ntype: %s\n';
for ii= 1:10
    out=fprintf(formatspec,Account(ii).name,Account(ii).number,Account(ii).type);
end
