Convert number to time

Hi, is there a way to convert numbers in the format 0000 to time in the format HH:MM in matlab 2014a? Is there also a way to add this time to a vector with only dates but no specified time?

Thank you!

What exactly is "the format 0000"? Is this a string of digits? What do the digits represent?

And waht exactly is "a vector with only dates"?

Perhaps you have something like this:

Date = {'10-May-2015', '11-Mar-2016'}
Time = [1234, 2345];  % In the meaning of: 12:34 and 23:45

Then:

TimeC       = sprintfc('%02d:%02d', floor(Time / 100), rem(Time, 100));
DateAndTime = strcat(Date, TimeC);

Unfortunately printfc is not documented. So please write a message to the support team, that you want this function to be supported officially. Until then use:

C = cell(size(Time));
for iC = 1:numel(C)
  C{iC} = sprintf('%02d:%02d', floor(Time(iC) / 100), rem(Time(iC), 100));
end

But this is a bold guess only. Perhaps you have different input types.
