date_to_vector (MathScript RT Module Function)
Owning Class: time
Requires: MathScript RT Module
Syntax
v = date_to_vector(s, pivotyear)
v = date_to_vector(s)
v = date_to_vector(n)
[y, m, d, h, mi, se] = date_to_vector(s, pivotyear)
[y, m, d, h, mi, se] = date_to_vector(s)
[y, m, d, h, mi, se] = date_to_vector(n)
Legacy Name: datevec
Description
Converts a time from a string or a double-precision, floating-point number to a vector.
Inputs
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| s | Specifies a time. s is a string. |
| pivotyear | Provides information about the century if you use the form yy in s. If you specify a pivotyear, LabVIEW considers s to be a time in pivotyear or the 99 years that follow pivotyear. For example, the result of date_to_vector('18-Oct-04', 1900) is equivalent to the result of date_to_vector('18-Oct-1904'). However, if you do not specify pivotyear, or if pivotyear is less than 0, LabVIEW considers s to be within a century centered on the current year, or the current year plus or minus 50 years. For example, the result of date_to_vector('18-Oct-04') is equivalent to the result of date_to_vector('18-Oct-2004'). |
| n | Specifies a time. n is a scalar, vector, or matrix of double-precision, floating-point numbers. |
Outputs
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| v | Returns the time. v is a vector. |
| y | Returns the year. |
| m | Returns the month. |
| d | Returns the day. |
| h | Returns the hour. |
| mi | Returns the minute. |
| se | Returns the second. |
Examples
s = '05-Apr-06';
v = date_to_vector(s)
