Error to applying ismember for cell arrays

I really thanks in advance any help. I am trying to use the below command to find any variable from the A member of the B, but encountering with the error. Welcome any suggestion.

[~,JINDX] = cellfun(@(x)(ismember(B,x)),A,'Uni',false);

Error using cell/ismember (line 34)

Input A of class cell and input B of class char must be cell arrays of strings, unless one is a string.

Error in @(x)(ismember(B,x))

34 error(message('MATLAB:ISMEMBER:InputClass',class(a),class(b)));

It is not clear what you expect. Cell array A contains Rx1 character arrays,e.g.:

>> A{1}
ans =
6
9
0
0
8
0
5

while cell array B contains scalar numerics (which would be much better store in once numeric array):

>> B{1}
ans =  6900805

Do you expect that Rx1 character vector to be equivalent to that numeric scalar? For example:

>> Anum = str2double(cellfun(@(v)v(:).',A,'uni',0));
>> Bnum = [B{:}];
>> idx  = ismember(Bnum,Anum)
idx =
  1  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0

load("example.mat") ;
N = length(A) ; 
A1 =zeros(N,1) ; 
for i = 1:N
  A1(i) = str2num(A{i}') ; 
end

B1 = cell2mat(B)' ; 
[c,ia] = ismemebr(A1,B1) ;

@KSSV: you already know that str2double is preferred over str2num, and that it does not require a loop.

[KSSV]

Ohh..yes...

[Farshid Daryabor]

Yes, replaced str2num to str2double. Thanks again

[Farshid Daryabor]

Dear KSSV,

the problem is when I want to use ia as index to find the corresponding variable,

>> C = D(ia);

Subscript indices must either be real positive integers or logicals.

[KSSV]

Show us the whole code...in the give answer

A1(c)

works fine.

[Farshid Daryabor]

great, it's work to me also. Thanks
