logic vector given two string arrays?

I am given 2 char arrays, let's call them A and B, A has constant dimensions and values and B varies in both.

I am trying to get a logic vector of all zeros and ones in a single column. for each row of the column I need the value to be one i the array in row one of A contains any of the strings in array B.

For example,

   A= 

'hello'

'world'

'this '

'is   '

'an   '

'examp'

'le   '

and

   B=

'is'

'he'

So the return would be

'1'

'0'

'1'

'1'

'0'

'0'

'0'

How would I write this to give it back in this form?

Answer 1

[Birdman]

A=["hello","world","this","is","an","examp","le"];
B=["is","he"];
contains(A,B)

When I attempt to do that I get an error

Error using contains First argument must be a string array, character vector, or cell array of character vectors.

Which version of MATLAB you have?

[Garrett Miller]

R2017a

[Birdman]

contains function can be used for the versions after R2016b. Anyway, try this then:

A={'hello','world','this','is','an','examp','le'};
B={'is','he'};
contains(A,B)

Okay that works much better, but how would I be able to set this up for B with varying amount of rows and columns?

[Birdman]

It should work for any size of B, just change B cell array according to your needs and run the code again. The size does not matter.

reshape( char('0' + ismember(cellstr(A), cellstr(B))), [], 1)
