I am dealing with two strings, one for date and the other for time. The date string is in the format 'yyyy/MM/dd' and time is in the format 'HH:mm:ss'. I need to perform two tasks here:
  1. I need to merge both the strings to the format 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss'.
  2. I have a 60x1 list that contains numbers(which are seconds). To the merged output I need to create a loop to add the seconds and create a new list with all the 60 updated times.
I hope I made sense. Kindly help me with this problem and let me know if you need any further clarification.

Hello Arcot
You can use the following code snippet as an example and adapt it to your own needs:
DateString = '2014/05/26'; %Date
timeString = '21:24:05'; %Time
% Convert date to a recognisable format
newDateString = strrep(DateString,'/','-');
%Join the date and time
joinInp = [newDateString ' ' timeString];
% Create the datetime object in the required format
t = datetime(joinInp,'InputFormat','yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss')
t = datetime
26-May-2014 21:24:05
%Add 5 seconds to the created datetime object
tnew = t + seconds(5)
tnew = datetime
26-May-2014 21:24:10

Thank you Garmit.
The output is as desired. How do I format the seconds to hold fractions upto 3 decimals. example: 21:24:10.345

Note that it would be much easier to answer if you would have added exmaple data, anyhow you can use the following approach:
% random dates
DateStrings = ["2022-02-10","2021-04-20","2020-06-30"];
dates = datetime(DateStrings,'Format','yyyy-MM-dd')';
% random times
TimeStrings = ["04:21:30","07:19:21","13:51:33"];
times = datetime(TimeStrings,'Format','HH:mm:SS')';
% format both columns to yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:SS for proper merging
dates = datetime(dates,'Format','yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:SS');
times = datetime(times,'Format','yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:SS');
% merge the dates and times
FullDataTime = dates+timeofday(times)
FullDataTime = 3×1 datetime array
2022-02-10 04:21:30 2021-04-20 07:19:21 2020-06-30 13:51:33

Here's another slightly different approach. There's no need to replace "/" with "-" for datetime to parse it. Duration can parse "timer" formats, then you can just add together the datetime and duration without needing to use timeofday.
DateStrings = ["2022/02/10","2021/04/20","2020/06/30"];
TimeStrings = ["04:21:30","07:19:21","13:51:33"];
d = datetime(DateStrings,'InputFormat','yyyy/MM/dd','Format', 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss') + duration(TimeStrings,"InputFormat","hh:mm:ss")
d = 1×3 datetime array
2022-02-10 04:21:30 2021-04-20 07:19:21 2020-06-30 13:51:33
