Question

When using the import wizard in MATLAB to import data fro, a .csv file the data appears in MATLAB in the following format "35:53.2" how do I convert this into more usable matlab values? I think that the duration function was used to generate the time format. The code will need to be written in MATLAB software

I will leave feedback if you are able to provide a correct response.

Thank you

%Matlab code to split a string into numbers
clear all
close all

%Here the given form of the string is '35:53.2'
%let we can store it into variable s
s='35:53.2';

% Now we have to split it into individual numbers and store it into an
% arrey

val(1)=str2double(s(1:2));

val(2)=str2double(s(4:5));

val(3)=str2double(s(7:end));

fprintf('\t The actual imported string is %s\n',s)

fprintf('\n\t After splitting into individual numbers we can get\n val= ')
disp(val)
