MATLAB: Adapting the datetime function

datetimeinputformat

Hi everybody!
I got: a string representing a time in the format of 'dd.MM.yyyy HH:MM:SS.SSS' (actually not only one string, but a whole list)
I'd like to: transform my string into a datetime with the help of the function "datetime"
That's what I tried so far:
With the following line of code I'm always getting the error message "Error using datetime (line 639) Input data must be a numeric array, a string array, a cell array containing character vectors, or a char matrix."
date=datetime(t.r(:,1),'Inputformat','dd.MM.yyyy HH:MM:SS.SSS');
Unfortunately: I don't know how to adapt the datetime function properly! Can you please help me?

You must use the correctly specifiers for 'InputFormat', mm for minutes and ss for seconds.
 str = "13.07.2018 09:59:30.333"
 datetime(str,'InputFormat','dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm:ss.SSS')
