how to label strings in an array with an ID

I have a array
StringID=['a',1;
'b',2;
'c',3]
and a table with a column with a bunch of strings that exactly match the strings in StringID.
tc=['c';
'b';
'c';
'a';
'c']
How can I make a column vector that identifies the strings with the number in StringID?
ans=[3;
2;
3;
1;
3]
I would like this to be scaleable to a few thousand rows and a StringID column of a couple hundred strings. I feel like there is a simple solution I'm not thinking of. I assume there is some combo of find and strcmp that I'm not thinking of. I could probably just do it with a loop, but I am trying to avoid that.

T = cell2table(StringID(:, 2));
T.Properties.RowNames = StringID(:, 1);
Wanted = T{num2cell(tc), :}
