datetime.string
datetime: S = string (T)
datetime: S = string (T, fmt)
Convert datetime array to a string array.
S = string (T) converts the datetime array T to a
string array S of the same size, formatting each element with
the display format of T (its Format property). Not-A-Time
(NaT) values become missing string elements.
S = string (T, fmt) formats each element with the
Unicode (LDML) format fmt instead of the Format property of
T (see char).
Source Code: datetime
string renders a datetime as a string array — using its display format, or a format you pass — and turns a NaT into a missing string.
t = datetime (2024, 3, 9, 6, 0, 0)
t = datetime 09-Mar-2024 06:00:00
string (t)
ans = string "09-Mar-2024 06:00:00"
string (t, 'yyyy-MM-dd')
ans = string "2024-03-09"
string (NaT)
ans = string <missing>
