datestr
2datestr
Purpose Date string format
Syntax str = datestr(DT,dateform)
str = datestr(DT,dateform,P)
Description The datestr function converts serial date numbers (defined by datenum) and
date vectors (defined by datevec) into date strings.
2-370
str = datestr(DT,dateform) converts a single date vector, or each element of
an array of serial date numbers to a date string. Date strings with
two-character years, e.g., 12-june-12, are assumed to lie within the 100-year
period centered about the current year.
str = datestr(DT,dateform,P) uses the specified pivot year as the starting
year of the 100-year range in which a two-character year resides. The default
pivot year is the current year minus 50 years.
The optional argument dateform specifies the date format of the result.
dateform can be either a number or a string:
