Syntax

n = datenum(s)

n = datenum(s, pivotyear)

n = datenum(v)

Converts a time in string or vector format to a double-precision, floating-point number. n = datenum(s) is equivalent to n = datenum(s, -1).

Name	Description
s	Specifies a time in string format.
pivotyear	Provides additional information about the century if you use the form yy in s. If pivotyear is less than 0, LabVIEW considers s to be a time in the current century.
v	Specifies a time in vector format.

Name	Description
n	Returns the time as a double-precision, floating-point number.

N = datenum('18-Oct-04', 1900);
