Datetime conversion input format

Hello everyone,
i got a problem while converting strings to datetime. My data come from a table in the format e.g. '013044' which should equal 'HHMMSS'. Therefore I suggested this code:
TT.Time=datetime(TT.TimeString,'InputFormat','HHMMSS','Format','HH:MM:SS');
However, the result I get is "shifted" and i get in the upper example values like "00:13:04". I attached my data and the results.

According to the datetime documentation, the correct format characters for times are:
  • hours: 'HH' or 'hh' (for 24/12 hour clocks respectively)
  • minutes: 'mm'
  • seconds: 'ss'
Using the documented time format strings does not seem to give any problems:
>> TT.Time = datetime(TT.TimeString,'InputFormat','HHmmss','Format','HH:mm:ss')
TT =
TimeString Time

You should also pay attention to other relevant parts of the documentation, e.g. "If infmt does not include a date specifier, then datetime assumes that the values in DateStrings occur during the current day". A duration object may be more suitable for your data.

Thank you Stephen. I kind of expected a small mistake like this in the input format... I will check the convertion to a duration object, thank you!
