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
