This function starts comparing the first character of each string. The other argument may also be a cell array of strings of the same size or with only. If you have two character arrays with different widths, then some would say that the two are never equal because at the very least the number of trailing blanks would be different, and some would say that trailing blanks should. If str is a character vector or a string scalar, then strfind returns a vector of type double.
