MATLAB: Replacing some string variables by others; a small problem

strings

Dear all,
i have the following problem
I want to replace the elements of EER with the corresponding elements from EER1
where 
 EER={datebeg  '01/01/2009'  '01/07/2009'  };
EER1={'1' '2'  '3'  '4'};
 and
datebeg =
    '01/11/2009' 
    Unfortunately the '01/11/2009'  is not replace by '1' and I need
    to maintain the code as it is; that is using datebeg  in EER instead of  
    '01/11/2009' 
    Is there a way of doing this?
I use the following code for the replacement
 isAW   = strcmp(raw(:, 1), 'EE');
 AWtext = raw(isAW, 8);           % Only the AW rows
for k = 1:numel(EER)
  AWtext(strcmp(AWtext, EER{k})) = {EER1{k}};
end
new(isAW) = AWtext;
    thanks

containers.map perhaps ?
