You can plot it in datenum format. What is the problem with that?

Doug

You tried datenum?

I am a new user of Matlab. The 1st column in my excel file is time with HH:MM:SS format, and the other columns are other test data (pressures and temperatures) collected over time. How do I import the excel file into my Matlab Workspace without having the time values converted into decimal format? I did try to use “datestr” to make the conversion, but it converted it into text format, which couldn’t be plotted.

Can you help me on how to write data to excel from matlab structure table and/or cell array

for example

I have
1)11X4 cell array
2)structure table of students with a fields of name,sex,age,scores,

my e-mail address

You might be interested in the command URLREAD.

>>a = urlread(‘http://www.mathworks.com‘)

This will get you the source of the page, and then you can parse it as you wish. Can you point me to the specific page you are looking to read in? I would like to make an example of it.

This is helpful, but I have a question along the same lines. Is there any way to import data off a website when the webpages type is text/plain? There is a top line with writing, then approximately 18 more lines of space delimited numerical text before another line of writing occurs. Is there any way to make MATLAB go in and read out the data from a website or do you have to save the data into an actual text file first?

Let me know if you can help!

Thanks
