Finding matches for a vector

Hi

Instead of using strmatch(), any suggestion for finding matches for a vector? Since one warning is about strmatch() http://www.mathworks.com.au/help/techdoc/ref/strmatch.html (Note strmatch will be removed in a future release), it is better to find sth to replace it.

The following code is the example. Thanks so much! Jessica

 signal_vector=[  1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0;5 4 3 2 1 0 0 -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 ]';
  a= [1 1];
   strmatch(a,signal_vector)

ans =

         5
  strcmp(a,signal_vector)

ans =

         0

Use ismember

   [~,locb] = ismember(a,signal_vector,'rows');

locb is equal to 5
