I have the following data structure:

```julia
using KiteUtils
syslog=demo_syslog(7)
syslog.Z

```

Output:

```julia

```

I want to have an array z with the following content:

```julia
201-element view(::RecursiveArrayTools.VectorOfArray{Float32, 2, Vector{StaticArrays.MVector{7, Float32}}}, 7, :) with eltype Float32:
 0.0
 0.030000001
 0.060000002
 0.09
 0.120000005
 0.15
 ⋮
 5.8500004
 5.8800006
 5.9100003
 5.9400005
 5.9700003
 6.0000005

```

Is there an easy way to achieve that?

Maybe

```julia
last.(v)

```

Indeed, this works:

```julia
julia> last.(syslog.Z)
201-element Vector{Float32}:
 0.0
 0.030000001
 0.060000002
 0.09
 0.120000005
 0.15
 ⋮
 5.8500004
 5.8800006
 5.9100003
 5.9400005
 5.9700003
 6.0000005

```

Thank you!

Before I used:

```julia
julia> @view VectorOfArray(syslog.Z)[end,:]
201-element Vector{Float32}:
 0.0
 0.030000001
 0.060000002
 0.09
 0.120000005
 0.15
 ⋮
 5.8500004
 5.8800006
 5.9100003
 5.9400005
 5.9700003
 6.0000005

```

But your solution is much simpler and does not require an extra package…
