String convertion to date

5 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hello. I have the following strings
a= '16deNoviembredel2017'
b= '20:56:14'
I would like to convert the string into a specific date time format as indicated below
dt_event= datetime([a,b],'InputFormat','ddMMMMyyyyHH:mm:ss', 'Format','yyyy_MM_dd HH_mm_ss');
Could you please help me to correct the inputFormat to make it readable. Thank you.

Then my question is: Can you ask the authors of these files to use a less obscure date format? Text files are wanted to be processable by code, so why deciding for a format which is hard to parse?
But I know: In many cases it is impossible to modifiy the inputs and the programmers have to live with strange data.

Unfortunately, you can find that information like that from acceleration records and need to modify the scripts to verify the date before processing them.

a = '16deNoviembredel2017';
b = '20:56:14';
dt_event = datetime([a,b], 'Locale', 'es_ES', ...
'InputFormat', 'dd''de''MMMM''del''yyyyHH:mm:ss', ...
'Format','yyyy_MM_dd HH_mm_ss')
dt_event = datetime
2017_11_16 20_56_14
This works for this specific input, but are the keys "de" and "del" really fixed? I do not speak Spanish.

Note, I don't speak Spanish, so I'm not sure of the proper user of "de" and "del", so this answer may need to be adjusted.
I suspect you are going to need to manually remove "de" and "del" before you can use datetime. For example:
a = '16deNoviembredel2017';
b = '20:56:14';
a_ = regexprep(a,'(\d{2})de(\w+)del(\d{4})','$1$2$3')
a_ = '16Noviembre2017'
dt_event= datetime([a_,b],'InputFormat','ddMMMMyyyyHH:mm:ss', ...
'Format','yyyy_MM_dd HH_mm_ss','Locale','es_ES')
dt_event = datetime
2017_11_16 20_56_14
