converting date and time string to datetime object

3 views (last 30 days)
I am trying to read several text files each has 4 variables, the first coumn has the date and time values otgether in the following format
''2022-02-16T15:50:00.000Z'', and I would like to convert them in the following format "20220216155000".
I would like to convert theis into a datetmir object so i can use these vaues to compare to other dates and times from a different tables.
I am using the following lines for converion
for x = 1:length(Ionotable.x_Time) %x_Time is the column where the date and tie values are stored
Ionotable(x,1) = datetime(string(x),'InputFormat','yyMMddHHmmss');
end
but I am getting the follwoing error
Error using datetime (line 651)
Unable to convert '1' to datetime using the format 'yyMMddHHmmss'.
Error in Ionosonde_Data (line 23)
Ionotable(x,1) = datetime(string(x),'InputFormat','yyMMddHHmmss');

k = 1;
while k<=length(Ionotable.x_Time)
x = (Ionotable.x_Time(k)) %x_Time is the column where the date and tie values are stored
Ionotable(k,1) = datetime(string(x),'InputFormat','yyMMddHHmmss');
k = k+1;
end
