x=fopen('d:/plaintext.txt')
w=fread(x)
char(w)
y=fopen('d:/encryptedtext.txt')
v=fread(y)
char(v)
[c,lags] = xcorr(w,v)

If the encrypted text is correlated with the original then the encryption process was not a good one.

Try plot(lags,c) ? Is this what you are looking for? c(lags) is a similarity measure. Otherwise, maybe give a little more info?
