IDENTIFY THE POSITION OF SOME ELEMENTS INSIDE ANOTHER LONG LIST OF ELEMENT

Hello Everybody!

Could anyone help me to find a proper matlab function to solve my problem? I have a long list of gene name and I need to identify their position inside another list of gene name. Which kind of matlab function I can use? Thanks a lot for your help.

[wasfound, index] = ismember(genes_to_find, fixed_list_of_gene_names);

Now if wasfound(K) is true then genes_to_find(K) was located at fixed_list_of_gene_names(index(K))
