MATLAB: Error using cell/ismem​ber>cellis​memberR201​2a error

cell arraysfunction

% belows came from command window not codes,
txt1 =
    'p4004'
    [4005]
    [4007]
    [4009]
    [4015]
    [4020]
    [4031]
    [4037]
    [4041]
    [4151]
cc =
    'p4004'
Name            Size            Bytes  Class      Attributes
 txt1           10x1              1202  cell       global    
 cc              1x1               122  cell       global
%when I perform this code
[row,col] = ismember(txt1,cc)
%it gives Error using cell/ismember>cellismemberR2012a error. I didn't understand what is wrong, txt1 and cc are cells. When I create txt1 and cc matrixes in workspace like txt1=[{'p4004'},{'4005'},{'4007'},{'4009'}]….. it works without any error.

AFAIK and understand the documentation: ismember doesn't take a cell array, which contains different types of data. In your case double and string.
