Find in cell array

Hi all

I have 2 cell arrays.

one of them is my EEG bad channels and another is all EEG channels.

I want to find row numbers of the bad channels in my all EEG channels. For example, I have c4 in my bad channels and c4 in all channels file is 35.

and Fp2 is 3 in all channels. I want to do it by code. I've tried with:

idx = find(ismember(A,B))

but it works just when I put B in '' for instance:

   idx = find(ismember(all_channels,'C4')) %ismember is case sensitive

I've attached my .mat files.

would you please help me.

ind = cellfun(@find,cellfun(@(c) strcmp(all_channels,c),bad_channels,'uni',0))

Thanks a lot, KL.

The code is fine but it finds all channels with same words.

for example, for C4 it finds 25 and 35.

35 is C4 and 25 is FC4. in both we have C4 and code can't recognize.

The result should be just 35

Thanks
