How to compare cell content with a string in matlab?

Question

I have an cell array

>>D = {'Pop1','Pop2','Pop3','Pop4','Pop5','Pop6'}

Now I need an array with result [0 0 1 0 0 0]

when I compare elements of D with 'Pop3'.

I tried

>> D == 'Pop3'
??? Undefined function or method 'eq' for input arguments of type 'cell'.

Can anybody suggest how to do this?

Answer 1

You can do it by using strcmp

>> D = {'Pop1','Pop2','Pop3','Pop4','Pop5','Pop6'}
D = 
    'Pop1'    'Pop2'    'Pop3'    'Pop4'    'Pop5'    'Pop6'
>> strcmp('Pop3', D)
ans =
     0     0     1     0     0     0
