datevec (Financial Toolbox)

Date components.

Syntax

dv = datevec(d)
dv = datevec(d, p)
[y, mo, d, h, mi, s] = datevec(d)

Description

dv = datevec(d)

converts a date number or a date string d to a date vector dv whose elements are [year month day hour minute second]. The first five elements are integers, the sixth is a floating-point number. 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.

dv = datevec(d, p)

assumes that two-character years lie within the 100-year period beginning with the pivot year p . The default pivot year is the current year minus 50 years.

[y, mo, d, h, mi, s] = datevec(d)

converts a date number or a date string d to a date vector and returns the components of the date vector as individual variables y year, mo month, d day, h hour, mi minute, and s second.

Note:
This function now ships with basic MATLAB. It originally shipped only with the Financial Toolbox, and this description remains here for your convenience.

Examples

dv=datevec('19-may-1995')
dv =
        1995       5      19       0       0       0

dv=datevec(728798)
dv =
