isequal function quary.. Need solution to compare two series.

 result = 1  2  8  7  6  5  4  3  5  5  5  7;
 if (isequal(128765435557,result));
 a = 'ABC'
 else
 b = 'XYZ'
 end

From one source i am getting some characters as mentioned in "result". All are separated by two spaces. And i want to compare it with pre defined series. But here i am getting error..

 if (isequal(1  2  8  7  6  5  4  3  5  5  5  7,result));
                 |

   if strcmp('1  2  8  7  6  5  4  3  5  5  5  7',result)

result = 1  2  8  7  6  5  4  3  5  5  5  7
 if strcmp('1  2  8  7  6  5  4  3  5  5  5  7',result)
a = 'ABC'
else
b = 'XYZ'
end

I write above script, But still gives error..

result = 1  2  8  7  6  5  4  3  5  5  5  7
