Hello, I have a csv file with dates and times in the following format:
dd-mm-yyyy hh-mm-ss-SSS
20-09-2022 22:16:39.163
I've tried date string and datenum, and have had a friend try as well. No matter what we try, the dates and times refuse to combine into one large date - time value. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Additional Data:
running MATLAB version R2022b - academic use
Example CSV is attached

What version of Matlab are you using? Please provide a sample csv file -- edit your question and attach it using the paperclip icon.

Hello, as requested I have attached a small csv file with the example data. The data was imported into MATLAB using the import tool, resulting in a vector 844,740 x 75. Looking at the data there do not seem to be any issues with the imported data after having imported it.
During importing I needed to change the date format to dd-mm-yyyy and the time format to hh-mm-ss-SSS

Ran in:
I found that using the import tool did not correctly autodetect the Date and Time fomats correctly.
The approach I would use is to read in the date as a datetime, and the time as a duration, and then add the two together. I don't see duration as a datetype option in the import tool, so I would opt to use readtable and set the import options manually.
opts = detectImportOptions("example csv data.txt");
% Capture the variable names from the file
opts.VariableNamesLine = 2;
% Identify columns with Dates and Times
dCols = [1,9,14,19,27,32,37,45,50,55,63,68];
tCols = [2,10,15,20,28,33,38,46,51,56,64,69];
% Set date import and display options
opts = setvartype(opts,dCols,'datetime');
opts = setvaropts(opts,dCols,"InputFormat","dd-MM-yyyy","DatetimeFormat","dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss.SSS");
% Set time import optoins
opts = setvartype(opts,tCols,'duration');
opts = setvaropts(opts,tCols,'InputFormat',"hh:mm:ss.SSS");
% Import table
F = readtable("example csv data.txt",opts);
Warning: Column headers from the file were modified to make them valid MATLAB identifiers before creating variable names for the table. The original column headers are saved in the VariableDescriptions property.
Set 'VariableNamingRule' to 'preserve' to use the original column headers as table variable names.
% Combine date and time data
F{:,dCols} = F{:,dCols}+F{:,tCols};
% Delete time data, as it is redundant
F(:,tCols) = [];
% Change Date variable names to now say 'Datetime'
F.Properties.VariableNames = replace(F.Properties.VariableNames,"Date","Datetime")
F = 5×63 table

Just a caution that this is quick and dirty. I have not extensively checked the results to ensure they are correct.

Nice to see Walter and I have similar solutions :) This is largely redundant, but I'll leave it for now.
