datestr generating different string

2 views (last 30 days)
I have an array with days, months and years. This is my string
[myd '/' mym '/' myy]
ans =
20/01/2014
But datestr generates this
datestr([myd '/' mym '/' myy])
ans =
06-Jul-0025
Any clue?
Thanks

How about
myy = 2014;
mym = 1;
myd = 20;
datestr(datenum(myy,mym,myd),'dd/mm/yyyy')
ans = '20/01/2014'

How's this?
datestr(datenum(string([myd '/' mym '/' myy]),'dd/mm/yyyy'))

I just removed the 'string' and now it works
datestr(datenum(([myd '/' mym '/' myy]),'dd/mm/yyyy'))
thank you very much!
