ismember() returning without unique indexing

1 view (last 30 days)
I want to get a result from ismember function such that
a =[{'aa'};{'bb'};{'cc'};{'dd'};{'ee'}];
b = [{'bb'};{'bb'};{'dd'};{'dd'};{'dd'};{'dd'}];
idx = find(ismember(a,b) == 1);
then idx = [2 4];
however, I want to get the results like idx = [2 2 4 4 4 4];
so, the frequency of cell array in b is conserved.
Would please somebody help me?
Thanks.
