If this is a bug, I can file it. But just thought I will check here first as
it seems to be very basic.
Using octave 3.2.4 on Debian Wheezy
$octave -qf
octave:1> datenum('20120401', 'yyyymmdd')
ans = 734960
octave:2> datenum(num2str(20120401), 'yyyymmdd')
error: datevec: date not parsed correctly with given format
error: called from:
error: /usr/share/octave/3.2.4/m/time/datevec.m at line 140, column 11
error: /usr/share/octave/3.2.4/m/time/datenum.m at line 75, column 25
octave:2>
FWIW, the command works under matlab 7.9.1.671 (R2009b) Service Pack 1.
If I am guessing correctly, the format of the output from num2str cannot be
parsed correctly by datenum. Worth fixing or is there a work around?
thanks
