How can i find indexes of multiple strings from a cell array?

I have a cell aray A (100,000X1) in which every cell contains a string. I have another cell array B (10000x1) of same kind. I want to find the indexes of A which contains a specific string from B and i want to repeat that for every element of B.

I used the following function to find out the indexes for one element of B at a time. say hhh is the first element of B.

idx = find(ismember(A, 'hhh'))

I can't seem to define a variable in place of 'hhh' so that it can change for each element of B. What should I do?

Thank you.

hi,

Here is one plain answer;

% Search string:
STR = 'hhh';
% Index finding:
IndexFind = strfind(A, STR);
Index = find(not(cellfun('isempty', IndexFind)));
% display the found strings containing STR
A{Index}  %#ok
%%
