Pattern search and string indexing

I have two cell arrays:

A = {[x(2)& x(4)& x(1)],[x(3),x(5)],[x(2),x(1)]}
B = {2465,2514,147,236,58}

where the integers in A are the indices of B items. I want to replace those indices with actual values as:

C = {[2514,236,2465],[147,58],[2514,2465]}

For loop is a bit slow. Is there an alternative?

Why would you do that?

Something like this

A = {[2 4 1],[3 5],[2 1]}; % you can put indexes as numbers
B = {2465,2514,147,236,58};

A_new = cellfun(@(x) {[B{x}]}, A)

Thank you Hamza, your code has saved my day!

By the way, can we set a separator in the output here?

[Ameer Hamza]

Can you explain what do you mean by separator?

A = @(x){[x(2), x(4), x(1)],[x(3),x(5)],[x(2),x(1)]}
B = {2465,2514,147,236,58}

C = A(B)

Thanks mate! However, I found out that it couldn't slice A nicely as I wanted.

[Ameer Hamza]

FYI, following code will slice A as you want

C = A([B{:}])
