MATLAB: Inserting date/time in an array

Question

Is it possible to insert date/time in an array? I mean, can I insert dates of a month and time (seconds)?
For e.g., I want to insert

01.04.1987 14:00:01

Answer 1

start     = '01.04.1987 14:00:00';
stop      = '01.04.1987 15:00:00';
fmt       = 'dd.mm.yyyy HH:MM:SS';
startSec  = round(datenum(start, fmt) * 86400);
stopSec   = round(datenum(stop,  fmt) * 86400);
period    = (startSec:stopSec) / 86400;
periodStr = datestr(period, fmt);
