Asking a user in the command window to enter YYYY-MM-DD HH-MM-SS-MS

How do I create a script that asks for a user to input date/time data in the form YYYY-MM-DD HH-MM-SS-MS? I want the user to enter this information in the command window after I click "Run"

T = input('Enter time in the form YYYY-MM-DD HH-MM-SS-MS: ', 's')

This will give back a character vector that has not been validated.

Thanks. I just tried and got an error (Error: Invalid expression. Check for missing multiplication operator, missing or unbalanced delimiters,or other syntax error. To construct matrices, use brackets instead of parentheses.)

In this case, I am trying to find the difference in two times. Time(1) is the inputted time and Time(i) is a time value from an excel spreadsheet. I know the excel information has been added to the script correctly.

you did not use the 's' option like I showed

And why are you passing the result of the input() to input() as the prompt?
