MATLAB: Spliting a date to day, month and year

Hello,

Suppose I have a date in this form only : 14/2/1923 or 8/2/1923 (not 14/02/1923 or 08/02/1923)

How can I split it to day, month and year? there are no zeros at all in the date.

Thank's!

myDate = '4/2/1923';
mySplitDate = regexp(myDate,'/','split');
myDatevec = cellfun(@(x) str2double(x),mySplitDate)

In MATLAB 6.5, that date format was not supported by datenum(), and that version of datenum() was too early to allow you to pass in a custom date specification.

I suggest that you use sscanf() to break apart the string into numeric pieces, and you can then pass those pieces in to datenum(). Your entries happen to be in the right order so you do not need to re-arrange the numeric parts:

S = '2017/11/28 21:16:42';
datenum( sscanf(S, '%d/%d/%d %d:%d:%d') )
