How to replace elements in a integer vector with chars using a lookup table

I have a vector of unsigned integer (A) Nx1 uint8 (N>50000) populated with values from 0 to 6.

On the other hand there is a lookup table (B) 7x2 table, like this:

   STATE     CODE
   -----     ----
   'Str 1'      0
   'Str 2'      1
   ...        ...
   'Str 7'      6

class(B.STATE) --> cell

class(B.CODE) --> double

Question: How can I obtain a vector of strings (C) with a size Nx1, with each element being the match in the lookup table?

Example: A(i) = 6 --> C(i) = 'Str 7'

Thanks for your support.

How about the following way?

% Sample data
A = randi([0 6],10,1);
B = table(compose('Str %d',1:7)',(0:6)',...
  'VariableNames',{'STATE','CODE'});

% Create the output array
[~,loc] = ismember(A,B.CODE);
C = B.STATE(loc);
