e2i_field.m

function mpc = e2i_field(mpc, field, ordering, dim)
%E2I_FIELD   Converts fields of MPC from external to internal indexing.
%
%   This function performs several different tasks, depending on the
%   arguments passed.
%
%   MPC = E2I_FIELD(MPC, FIELD, ORDERING)
%   MPC = E2I_FIELD(MPC, FIELD, ORDERING, DIM)
%
%   When given a case struct that has already been converted to
%   internal indexing, this function can be used to convert other data
%   structures as well by passing in 2 or 3 extra parameters in
%   addition to the case struct.
%
%   The 2nd argument is a string or cell array of strings, specifying
%   a field in the case struct whose value should be converted by
%   a corresponding call to E2I_DATA. The field can contain either a
%   numeric or a cell array. The converted value is stored back in the
%   specified field, the original value is saved for later use and the
%   updated case struct is returned. If FIELD is a cell array of strings,
%   they specify nested fields.
%
%   The 3rd and optional 4th arguments are simply passed along to
%   the call to E2I_DATA.
%
%   Examples:
%       mpc = e2i_field(mpc, {'reserves', 'cost'}, 'gen');
%
%       Reorders rows of mpc.reserves.cost to match internal generator
%       ordering.
%
%       mpc = e2i_field(mpc, {'reserves', 'zones'}, 'gen', 2);
%
%       Reorders columns of mpc.reserves.zones to match internal
%       generator ordering.
