I have variables called ExcelFile2. For example,

ExcelFile2 = 01_3-30-10_120035

whos ExcelFile2
Name Size Bytes Class Attributes

ExcelFile2 1x17 34 char

I want to loop through a series of these files and see whether they match or don't match clips. For example, the clips I have might be:

Clip={'01_3-30-10_120035'; '01_3-30-10_97319'};

I tried to set-up a comparison, but it didn't work:

if ExcelFile2 == Clip(1)
end;

but I get the error:

??? Undefined function or method 'eq' for input arguments of type 'cell'.

Any suggestions for making this work so that it returns either a 1 (yes, it's a complete match) or 0 (no, it's not a complete match)?

Thanks!

if strcmp(ExcelFile2, Clip{1})

However you should consider ismember()
