MATLAB: Comparing Couple of Cell Array String

Question

Hi, i want to compare a couple of cell array string. In example :

dataset = {
          'i', 'love';
          'love', 'you';
          'you', 'so';
          'so', 'much'
       }

if i have below data test :

data_test = {'love', 'you'}

then i want to get below result (according dataset) :

'love' 'you'

Else if my data is like below :

data_test = {'love', 'much'}

Then i want to get below result (according dataset) :

'love' 'you'

So, the process is getting first word. Then getting squence of words in dataset that match with first word…

Is that possible?

Thanks in advance.

    data = {
              'i', 'love';
              'love', 'you';
              'you', 'so';
              'so', 'much'
           };
    data_test = {'love', 'much'};
    out = data(ismember(data(:,1),data_test(1)),:);
