I have two cell arrays and I want to compare which element from the first array has similar words in the second array

array1=

4×1 cell array

{'VRDU,2GA,M8XM8' }

{'CBL,NEG,2GA,M8 X M8F'}

{'people net,PWR DIST,VP'}

{'COVER, VPDM, BACK' }

array2= {'VRDU, (optional)' }

{'people-net antenna'}

Compare "each word" in the element (array1 {1,1}) in array1 with each word in element in array2 (array 2{1,1}) and if any one word is common amongst the elements display that element

For example "VRDU " is common in both array1 and array2 so display the corresponding element.

So I want the output to be =

{'VRDU,2GA,M8XM8' }

{'CBL,NEG,2GA,M8 X M8F'}

Hi,

You can use strcmp function to compare 2 strings.

To solve your above problem, you can run a loop on array1 and another loop on array2 and use strcmp to compare both the cells.
