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

1 view (last 30 days)
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.
