I have two cell arrays, one is the array I want to find indices of multiple strings. Say q = { 'A', 'B' } and p = { 'H', 'F', ..., 'Z' }. Is there a function that finds the strings and returns their indices like ans = [ 12, 3 ] ? Or the only way is to use a for loop and find(strcmp(...)) which doesn't seem very efficient?

I think you would have to do it one value at a time.
find(contains(p,q(1)))
There are several functions you could use
