i have a big matrix with dimension 303*14 i want compare every row of this matrix with one vector with dimension 1*14

i have a big matrix with dimension 303*14 i want compare every row of this matrix with one vector with dimension 1*14 all of these are cell arrays and contain string

Ok. What is your question then? What kind of comparison do you want? How do the wanted results look like? Could you give us an explicit example?

i want save the vectors that same with row of matrix i know that i have to use strcmp !but i cannot do this row by row

[Jan]

@fatemeh: Please give us an example with a {2 x 3} cell string and a {1 x 3} pattern. Of course you can apply strcmp row by row using a FOR-loop.

[fatemeh]

like {6 9 0 7 9 7} 8 9 7

and {9 7 6} i write this for i=1:303 for j=1:14 if strcomp( sds{i,j}==features{1,j})==1 but does not work

[fatemeh]

{3 4 5;3 4 4} ,{3 4 3}

[Jan]

In opposite to your question, the example data do not contain strings, but scalar numbers. This is confusing.

"Doesn't work" is not precise enough to offer a suggestion for improvements. Perhaps it is only a typo in "strcomp", which is written without "o"? Posting the error message would be more helpful.

I'm not sure I understand, you say you have a cell array:

strcmp() does work element by element on a cell array.

A = {'This is a frog'; 'This is a chair'; 'This is a book'; 'This is a test'};
strcmp(A,'This is a test')
