I have this struct output (from ROS2 message):
MessageType: 'builtin_interfaces/Time'
sec: 1706819594
nanosec: 685974901
I want to combine sec and nanosec in one value like this:
1706819594.685974901
I used the following line of code (and it worked):
zBase.header.stamp.sec+ sprintf(".%d",zBase.header.stamp.nanosec)
Is there a better way ?

Note that you will need to use SPRINTF (or COMPOSE etc) to get the right output when NANOSEC has fewer than the full nine digits:
s = 1706819594;
ns = 685974901;
sprintf("%d.%09d",s,ns)
ns = 123;
sprintf("%d.%09d",s,ns)
Whereas your format string will given an incorrect output:
s + sprintf(".%d",ns)
If the input number has more than nine digits then the output will be wrong anyway.

If the two values are numeric and you want a single numeric output then skip the intermediate text:
format long G
s = 1706819594;
ns = 685974901;
out = s + ns/1e9
As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, converting to numeric will irretrievably lose information.

If you want to use it as a numerical value I would do this
val = str2double(zBase.header.stamp.sec) + str2double(zBase.header.stamp.nanosec)/1e9
