Reading string formatted Date and Time from CSV

Hi

I have csv files with the following format of date and time:

"Saturday, 12 February 2022 22:00:12"

Obviously this just one of the columns in the file, with additional data in adjacent columns. How can this be read into usable date and time data?

Thanks

‘Obviously this just one of the columns in the file, with additional data in adjacent columns. How can this be read into usable date and time data?’

str = "Saturday, 12 February 2022 22:00:12";
dt = datetime(str, 'InputFormat',"eeee, d MMMM yyyy HH:mm:ss")

dt = datetime
   12-Feb-2022 22:00:12

See the datetime documentation section on infmt ('InputFormat') for more examples and an extended discussion. See the Format section to understand how to set the display format for the array datetime produces.

Replace ‘str’ here with the column reference to your table.
