MATLAB: Comparing cell arrays for same values

cell arrayscomparisons

Ok so – This may be a little hard to explain to forgive me.
I have a selection of array of letters (lets call is matrix X), e.g
A B C; A C D; A D G; A E H; Q N J; A G K; A H I; A I W;
Defined as a 8×3 cell (in this case). I also have another array (matrix Y) (11×2 cell) of similar format (populated with letters).
What I want to do is write some code which looks through each row of matrix X in turn and returns a "1" if the row contains both letters in any row of matrix Y and a "0" if not.
For example, matrix X is as above and matrix Y is,
A F; E D; E C; J I; J H; M L; V T; V U; Q J; Q O; Q P;
In this case, the 5th row of matrix X would agree with the statement as "Q" and "N" are present (as in the 9th row of matrix Y). The other rows in X are all fine and would return "1".
I hope that makes sense – happy to explain further if necc.
Best,
Craig

X={'A'    'B'    'C'
  'A'    'C'    'D'
  'A'    'D'    'G'
  'A'    'E'    'H'
  'Q'    'N'    'J'
  'A'    'G'    'K'
  'A'    'H'    'I'
  'A'    'I'    'W'}
Y={ 'A'    'F'
    'E'    'D'
    'E'    'C'
    'J'    'I'
    'J'    'H'
    'M'    'L'
    'V'    'T'
    'V'    'U'
    'Q'    'J'
    'Q'    'O'
    'Q'    'P'}
n=size(X,1);
out=zeros(n,1)
for k=1:n
  out(k,1)=any(all(ismember(Y,X(k,:)),2))
end
