Plot a vector that contain dates in concatenated number format and plot it using dates

Hello all, I am quite a new user,then sorry if the question is too basic. I got a vector [20000101.1 20000101.2 20000101.3.......20000912.15] the first 4 digits correspond to the year, the second 2 to the month, the third 2 to the day and after the dot is the time in hrs (no minutes, no seconds). Now I would like to plot some values corresponding to these dates where the x axis is displaying the date and time say ( Jan 01 2000, 1 AM...etc). Any idea or advice would be higly appreciated. Thank you very much
Wilson

A = [[20000101.1 20000101.2 20000101.3 20000912.15]];
d = datenum(num2str(A'),'yyyymmdd.HH');
out = datestr(d,'mmm dd yyyy, HH PM');
corrected
A = [20000101.01 20000101.03 20000912.15 20000101.2];
k = strjust(num2str(A'),'left');
k(k == ' ')='0';
out = datestr(datenum(k,'yyyymmdd.HH'),'mmm dd yyyy,HHPM')

Do you have any reasons for the doubled square brackets?
Your method cannot distinguis 20000101.1 and 20000101.10.
To ensure that the decimals won't run away on their own :)
I'm curious how Wilson will handle the ambiguos format.

a=[20000101.1 20000101.2 20000101.3 20000912.15];
b=num2str(a');
c=datenum(b,'yyyymmdd.HH');
h=axes;
plot(c,1:4);
d=get(h,'xtick');
e=datestr(d,'mmm dd yyyy HH PM');
set(h,'xticklabel',e)
There is no difference between 20000101.1 and 20000101.10 ?! So if your data are really double values, I assume the best would be to create the data again from scratch using a unique format.
