strcmp not working correctly

I have 2 datas. behaviours_currframe.ID and label.

behaviours_currframe.ID =

  3×1 cell array

    {'pedestrian4'}
    {'ped2'       }
    {'ped3'       }


label =

    'pedestrian4'

I am trying to do strcmp

mask = strcmp({behaviours_currframe.ID}, label);
mask

But why is the output

mask =

  logical

   0
   
 Why is it 0 ? There is one item in behaviours_currframe.ID that is similar to label.

Hello,

You can use the following syntax instead:

behaviours_currframe.ID = {'pedestrian4' ,'ped2' ,'ped3'};
label = 'pedestrian4';
mask = strcmp(label, behaviours_currframe.ID);
disp(mask); 

Hope this helps!!

The problem is in your call to strcmp:

behaviours_currframe.ID = {'pedestrian4','ped2', 'ped3'};
label = 'pedestrian4';

mask = strcmp(behaviours_currframe.ID, label)
mask =

  1×3 logical array

   1   0   0
