convert from datetime to string matlab in matlab

To convert a datetime object to a string object in MATLAB, you can use the datestr function. The datestr function can be used to convert various date and time formats, including datetime objects, into a specific string format.

Here's an example code snippet:

main.m
% Create a datetime object
dt = datetime('now');

% Convert to string with format 'yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS'
str = datestr(dt, 'yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS');
146 chars
6 lines

In this example, we create a datetime object called dt, which represents the current date and time. We then use the datestr function to convert this datetime object into a string format with the format specification 'yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS'.

You can adjust the format specification to match the desired string format. For example, if you want to include milliseconds in the string format, you can use 'yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS.FFF'.
