data_imp.mat

I have data set extracted in the form ´05/17/24 04p:48:15.8148625´. These data sets are not fond in the InputFormat list, contains a 'p' for postmeridian, and has seconds up to 7 decimal places. I am ok if it is inevitable to round-off the seconds, however, I will be working with several formats and the manual way of extracting parts of strings, joining them together in InputFormat list is quite hectic and it slows down my code. Is there a way we can simply use datetime command to convert the text into datetime? I will appreciate your help. Thanks.

load('data_imp.mat');
dttime = datetime(data_imp,"InputFormat","MM/dd/uu 'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSSSSS");
Error using datetime (line 257)
Unable to convert the text to datetime using the format 'MM/dd/uu 'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSSSSS'.

Hi @Muha,

To convert your data into "datetime" format in MATLAB, you can use "regexprep" to handle the PM adjustment. Here’s how:

load('data_imp.mat')
% Adjust PM hours
data_adj = regexprep(string(data_imp), '(\d{2})p:', '${num2str(str2double($1) + 12, ''%02d'')}:');  
% Convert to datetime
dttime = datetime(data_adj, 'InputFormat', 'MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss.SSSSSSS')
dttime = 23x1 datetime array

data_imp.mat

The format used to represent am/pm (04p:48:15.8148625) is not one recognized by MATLAB. You therefore need to manipulate your data into a format that MATLAB can recognize.

My approach would be

capture which rows contain pm times
remove the am/pm designation
convert times to datetimes
add 12 hours to rows containing pm times

load('data_imp.mat')
data_imp
data_imp = 23x1 cell array
    {'   05/17/24 04p:48:15.8148625'}
    {'   05/17/24 04p:48:30.7939140'}
    {'   05/17/24 04p:48:45.6719270'}
    {'   05/17/24 04p:48:48.5268930'}
    {'   05/17/24 04p:48:49.3434208'}
    {'   05/17/24 04p:48:49.8132723'}
    {'   05/17/24 04p:48:50.8816138'}
    {'   05/17/24 04p:48:53.4666198'}

    {'   05/17/24 04p:48:54.0894605'}

% capture pm times
pmTms = cellfun(@(x) contains(x,'p:'),data_imp);
% remove am/pm designation
data_imp = replace(data_imp,lettersPattern + ':',':')
data_imp = 23x1 cell array
