I want to convert one time format into another type

6 views (last 30 days)
I have date and time data in this form '16-Aug-0022 04:39:55 PM' and I want to convert it in this form '08/16/2022 16:39:00'. Can you provide me with corresponding scripts
thank you in advance

While @Star Strider provides a way to read these, I'd ask how got the malformed date string in the beginning and suggest fixing that issue.

str = '16-Aug-0022 04:39:55 PM';
t = datetime(str, 'InputFormat', 'dd-MMM-yyyy hh:mm:ss a'); % convert to datetime type
t.Year = t.Year + 2000; % add 2000 year
t.Format = 'MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss'; % change the output format
t
t = datetime
08/16/2022 16:39:55

Another approach —
dt1 = '16-Aug-0022 04:39:55 PM';
dt2 = datetime(dt1, 'InputFormat','dd-MMM-00yy hh:mm:ss a', 'Format','MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss')
dt2 = datetime
08/16/2022 16:39:55
Note the specific 'InputFormat' string that accounts for the first two numbers of the year being '00'. No other conversion required!
