date of a file, but not time

Hi,

Im getting date and time of creation of a file with : A = dir(myfile); disp(A.date)

and I end up with

07-lip-2014 03:35:30

while all I want is :

07-07-07.

So no time and month name, 'lipiec' or 'July' as 07 - how do I do that ??

Kind regards Damian

Use the .datenum option:

ds = datestr(A.datenum, 'dd-mm-yy');

So if the date of ‘A’ is today (21-lip-2014), it would return 21-07-14. See the documentation for datestr for other options.
