matlab - Comparing content of a cell array with a vector -

i have following 1-by-3 cell arrays:

y = {[2 3 4 5 8],[1 2 5 7 8],[3 4 7 8]} 

and following 1-by-8 vector:

x = [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8] 

using form of logical index, compare vector each content of cell array. instance, comparing x y(1,1) give following:

[0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1] 

likewise, comparing x y(1,2) give following:

[1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1] 

and comparing x y(1,3) give following:

[0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1] 

hence, should have following output:

[0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1  1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1  0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1] 

grateful form of help.

use cellfun apply ismember each cell's contents:

result = cellfun(@(c) ismember(x, c), y, 'uniformoutput', false); % gives cell array result = vertcat(result{:}); % vertically concatenate cells' contents matrix
