% SUMMARY PSOM_FIND_STR_CELL
%
% Test if one of many strings are substrings of another list of strings
%
% SYNTAX:
% MASK_F = PSOM_FIND_STR_CELL(CELL_STR,CELL_STR2)
% 
% _________________________________________________________________________
% INPUTS:
%
% CELL_STR      
%       (string or cell of strings)
%
% CELL_STR2     
%       (string or cell of strings)
% 
% _________________________________________________________________________
% OUTPUTS:
%
% MASK_F        
%       (vector) MASK_F(i) equals 1 if CELL_STR{i} contains CELL_STR2{j} 
%       for any j, 0 otherwise. If one argument is a simple string, it is 
%       converted into a cell of string with one element.
