Problem with find string in array

Hello, i try to find mark 'bmw' in Mfg table(carbig.mat).I want to create new logic table with 1 (if string exist) or 0 to others string.

>> idx = ismember((Mfg(:,1:6)=='bmw'),[1,1,1,1,1,1],'rows')

But i have this mistake:

Error using ==

Matrix dimensions must agree.

It's my workspace:

First convert the character matrix to a cell array of strings or to a string array without leading/trailing space characters and then use strcmpi.

Would you attach a sample file ?

@madhan, if you type

load carbig.mat

you'll have the data. It is a file used for examples in the documentation.

Thank you the cyclist.

Answer 1

[madhan ravi]

Wanted = ismember(cellstr(Mfg),'bmw')

Thanks,it's work

Answer 2

[the cyclist]

contains(cellstr(Mfg),'bmw')

[Kostiantyn Voskoboinik]

Undefined function 'contains' for input arguments of type 'cell'.

[the cyclist]

Do you have an older version of MATLAB? The contains function was introduced in R2016b.

[Kostiantyn Voskoboinik]

Yes, i have 2015b

[the cyclist]

This is more awkward, but will work

not(cellfun(@isempty,strfind(cellstr(Mfg),'bmw')))

I expect there is something more elegant.

It's work , thanks
