Equal Cell

Hallo,

how can i use condition "if", if i have two variables type cell? For examlpe:

            if(datLab(k)==label(i))
                disp(datLab(k));
            else
                disp('No exist');
            end
        end

datLab and label are variables cell (string).

Thanks

if strcmp(datLab{k}, label{i})

or

if isequal(datLab{k}, label{i})

To get the contents of a cell, use the curly braces. For example:

v1 = {2};
v2 = {2};

if v1{1} == v2{1}
  disp(['v1 = v2 = ',num2str(v1{1})])
else
  disp('not equal')
end

The original poster indicated that the values are strings; using == to compare strings does not work unless the strings are exactly the same length. strcmp() or isequal() do not have that difficulty.
