Problem using "datetime"

Hi,

I'm trying to import data from a structure and save it as a file with the data in the filename. See my previous problems. I have got as far as the code below, but have run into the following problem:

Error in extractor (line 14)

T = table(N, 'VariableNames', {'Dates'})

Caused by:

You might have intended to create a one-row table with the

character vector '12/24/2008 9:59:47 AM.786743640' as one

of its variables. To store text data in a table, use a

string array or a cell array of character vectors rather

than character arrays. Alternatively, create a cell array

with one row, and convert that to a table using

CELL2TABLE.

My code is a follows, it shows the current date format stored in dateName and the filename I would like to store the data in timeDom under.

load('Device2_13032021.mat');

L = length(measurement.transient);

for i = 1:L

dateName = {measurement.transient(i).date};

timeDom = {measurement.transient(i).timeDomain};

%Current file format{'12/24/2008 9:59:47 AM.786743640'}

%Fileformat to convert to = data-20130325T004512Z.mat

date=cell2mat(dateName);

data=cell2mat(timeDom);

N = date

T = table(N, 'VariableNames', {'Dates'})

t = datetime(T.Dates,'ConvertFrom', 'dd/mm/yyyy''T''HHmmss''Z');

% TODO: Save files

save(data, '-append', '-struct', 't');

%

end

I would be grateful if anyone could shed some light on where things have gone wrong.

Kind regards,

Andy

If you format your code, it would be much easier to read.

T = table(string(N), 'VariableNames', {'Dates'})
