how to use Continue statement to compare between 2 cells and get their content only one time ?

All the cells of cell1(219*1) are existed in cell2 (244(219+15 repeated +10 others) . So i want to get the contents of those 219 [which exist in both cell1 and cell2] from cell3 and ignore the repeated onces(15 cells) using continue statement wich doesn't work with me!!!

• cell1: size 219*1
• cell2: size 244*1(219+15 repeated cells and 10 others)
• cell3: size 244*1

 i want to get cell3c of size 219*1 but i'm getting it of size 234*1  because of some repeated cells are also taken but i only need 219 no more!!

   for i=1:1:rowcell1
    for j=1:1:rowcell2
        if isequal(cell1(i,:),cell2(j,:))
          cell3c=[cell3c;cell3(:,j)] ;
           continue
        end
    end
end

expected results cell3c:219*1 but i get 234*1

 for i=1:1:rowcell1
    for j=1:1:rowcell2
        if isequal(cell1(i,:),cell2(j,:))
          cell3c=[cell3c;cell3(:,j)] ;
           break
        end
    end
end

If cell1 and cell2 are cell array of strings, you can use intersect.

cell1 and cell2 are having string and numbers also

i'm using for Loop and use isequal is worked well. except the repeated issue whi i want to ignore
