ismember

Determine which elements of the first argument exist in the second argument.

Syntax

ismember(x,s)

ismember(x,s,'rows')

[bool, index] = ismember(...)

x: Type: double | integer | char | string | logical | struct | cell; Dimension: scalar | string | vector | matrix
s: The items from which to find possible matches.; Type: double | integer | char | string | logical | struct | cell; Dimension: scalar | string | vector | matrix
'rows': Specify that the search be made for common rows as opposed to common elements.; Type: double | integer | char | string | logical | struct | cell; Dimension: scalar | string | vector | matrix

bool: A matrix with the same dimenions as x, with each element set to 1 if the corresponding element of x is contained in s, and 0 otherwise.
index: A matrix with the same dimenions as x that contains indices of s(:) for the matched elements reported in bool, and 0 otherwise.

Matrix example:

[bool, index] = ismember([5 4; 3 6],[7 5 8 9 6])

bool = [Matrix] 2 x 2
1  0
0  1
index = [Matrix] 2 x 2
2  0
0  5

String example:

[bool, index] = ismember('abcd','baeg')

bool = [Matrix] 1 x 4
1  1  0  0
index = [Matrix] 1 x 4
2  1  0  0

Row example:

ismember([1 2 3; 1 4 5; 1 2 3],[1 2 3],'rows')

ans = [Matrix] 3 x 1
1
0
1
