FINDARRAY Find one array within another
I = FINDARRAY(A,B,'first') for the array B returns an index array of
the same size as B containing the smallest absolute index in A for each
element of B which is a member of A and 0 if there is no such index.
FINDARRAY(A,B) is the same as FINDARRAY(A,B,'first').

I = FINDARRAY(A,B,'last') for the array B returns an index array of
the same size as B containing the highest absolute index in A for each
element of B which is a member of A and 0 if there is no such index.

I = FINDARRAY(A,B,'all') returns a NDIMS(B)+1 dimensional array such
that I(:,...,k) contains the k-th absolute index in A for each element
of B, 0 otherwise.

This function can replace FINDMEMBER that has been removed from the file exchange.

unfortunately, this solution is several times faster (JIT-acc) and - more importantly - doesn't use as much memory:

ixi=zeros(size(b));
ixa=zeros(size(b));
for i=1:length(a)
ia=strfind(a,a(i));
ib=strfind(b,a(i));
ixi(ib)=ia(1);
ixa(ib)=ia(end);
end
