Hi,
If I have a cell array vertically sorted alphabetically as follows:
X=['a';'a';'c';'h';'x';'x']
What code should I use to obtain the numeric output:
Y=[1;1;2;3;4;4]
Where each integer in Y represents the alphabetic rank of the corresponding string in X.
Many thanks,
Cal

[~,~,Y]=unique(X);

That's easy
Y = [ 1 1 + cumsum(diff(X - 'a' + 1) > 0)'];
(and one of the reasons why I love Matlab :-))
