MATLAB: License plate recognition- need to compare with data stored in .mat file

Computer Vision Toolboxlicense platelpr

My current project is automatic license plate recognition by using video processing for private resident. Only registered license plate are allowed to enter the gate. Currently, I reached extraction section and the character come out exactly in the cell from the video. The problem is, I need to compare the extraction words with a data stored in .mat file. I don't know how to compare the OCR result with the .mat file. Example is :
Extracted character – SXC983UY
Expected result after comparing – SXC983UY is Registered!!!
Can anyone help me to solve my problem?.

Load the .mat file. Suppose it contains a cell string of all valid licences, use
 if any(strcmp(valid_licences, current_licence))
   disp('Registered')
 end
