Extracting datetime and adding reference time

Hi All, I'm trying to extract the time and date from the highlighted cell below and then I need to add that (reference) to each of the timestamp (cell array) from row 10 onwards. When I just took a cell array from 10:end and used datetime, it added the current time.
In advance thanks for your help

This was a bit more involved than I theught it would be —
T1 = readtable('https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/1337334/GPS_P01.txt', 'ReadVariableNames',0)
Lv1 = cell2mat(cellfun(@(x)~isempty(strfind(x,'# Reference time :')), T1{:,1}, 'Unif',0));
RTs = extractAfter(T1{Lv1,1},': ');
RTdt = datetime(RTs, 'InputFormat','dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss a ''UTC''', 'TimeZone','UTC', 'Format','dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss');
idx = find(cell2mat(cellfun(@(x)~isempty(strfind(x,'Timestamp')), T1{:,1}, 'Unif',0)));
Extracted = T1(idx+1:end,:);
Timestamp = datetime(Extracted{:,1},'InputFormat','mm:ss.S', 'TimeZone','UTC', 'Format','mm.ss.S');
Timestamp = RTdt + timeofday(Timestamp);
Timestamp.Format = 'dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss.S';
Extracted = removevars(Extracted,1);
Extracted = addvars(Extracted,Timestamp, 'Before',1)

Changed ‘RTs’ and ‘RTdt’ slightly to be compatible with datetime and with the ‘UTC’ string embedded in it. Rest of the code unchanged.

@Peter Perkins — Thank you!
Out of curiosity, would this also solve the midnight rollover problem, or would my approach adding:
DI = cumsum([0; diff(hour(Timestamp))<0]); % Day Increment
Extracted.Timestamp + days(DI); % Add 1 Day Every Midnight
Extracted % Display Result
to my earlier code still be necessary?

First thing I always say is to remember that days is exactly 24hrs, while caldays is "one calendar day", which might be 23hrs, 24hrs, 24hrs+1sec, or 25hrs, depending on what time zone you are using, if any. In this case I think you do want days though.
But with duration I think everything just works, right? If you read the duration as a duration, it's a length of time, and adding that to a datetime does the right thing regardless of whether or not it crosses midnight. It should even work with durations longer than 24hrs. I confess that I did not fully understand where/if your code was going wrong at midnight, but if it was I suspect the culprit was reading the duration as a datetime.

fnm = 'GPS_P01.txt';
txt = fileread(fnm);
one = regexp(txt,'(?<=REFERENCE\s*TIME\s*:\s*)[^\n]+','ignorecase','match','once');
ref = datetime(strtrim(one),'InputFormat','d/M/u h:m:s a z', 'TimeZone','utc', "Format","u-M-d H:m:s.S")
obj = detectImportOptions(fnm, "Range",9);
obj = setvartype(obj,"Timestamp","duration");
obj = setvaropts(obj,"Timestamp","InputFormat","mm:ss.S");
tbl = readtable(fnm, obj);
It is ambiguous if you want the minutes&seconds in the reference time to be incude or not, so here are both with and without them:
tbl.DT = tbl.Timestamp + dateshift(ref, "start","hour") % without
tbl.DT = tbl.Timestamp + ref % with
In the interest of keeping the original data (this is always useful for checking later), I would not remove the "TIMESTAMP" column/variable.

" I think at that point I need to add an hour, do you know how to do it?"
fnm = 'GPS_P02.txt';
txt = fileread(fnm);
one = regexp(txt,'(?<=REFERENCE\s*TIME\s*:\s*)[^\n]+','ignorecase','match','once');
ref = datetime(strtrim(one),'InputFormat','d/M/u h:m:s a z', 'TimeZone','utc', "Format","u-M-d HH:mm:ss.S")
obj = detectImportOptions(fnm, "Range",9);
obj = setvartype(obj,"Timestamp","duration");
obj = setvaropts(obj,"Timestamp","InputFormat","mm:ss.S");
tbl = readtable(fnm, obj);
adj = hours(cumsum([false;diff(tbl.Timestamp)<0])); % add this line
tbl.DT = tbl.Timestamp + dateshift(ref, "start","hour") + adj % and term here
