Hi,
I have two cells:
A = {'One','Four','Five'};
B = {'One','Two','Three','Four','Five';1 2 3 4 5;6 7 8 9 10};
Find A in B = C
C = {'One','Four','Five';1 4 5;6 9 10}
As shown above, I would like find the columns from A in B and the save them to another cell C without using either a for or while loop.
Cell A can have different numbers so whats shown above its not always the same.
Thank you

A = {'One','Four','Five'};
B = {'One','Two','Three','Four','Five';1 2 3 4 5;6 7 8 9 10};
If you work with tables
BB=cell2table(B(2:end,:),'VariableNames',B(1,:))
C=BB(:,A)
