For instance, Mon to 1, Tue to 2, etc.

Fo from character to number data.

Experiment with something like this —

daynr = @(x) find(strcmp(x, {'Mon','Tue','Wed','Thu','Fri','Sat','sun'}));

nr = daynr('Thu')

nr = 4

Everything depends on the context it will be used in, so this is just an example of one approach.

Oh, this is what I wanted, thanks. I modified your answer with a 100-by-1 column string vector (i.e. "day" variable)

%%

clear

load day % 100-by-1 string data

daynr = @(x) find(strcmp(x, {'Mon','Tue','Wed','Thu','Fri','Sat','Sun'}));

for i=1:length(day)

nr(i) = daynr(day(i));

end
