This is my code
for i= 1:length(t)
h(i)=t(i)
if % condition here??
myfunction(h)
end
end
t is a date array like:
2009-05-07
2010-05-09
2011-05-16
2012-05-21
2014-05-24
2016-05-27
2016-05-31
I want to make an if test or something that makes dates before 2011 not go into the function.
If your t is in datetime format, you can use the year property:
for ii = 1:length(t)
h = t(ii);
if year(h) >= 2011
myfunction(h);
end
end
You can shorten the loop by testing all of the dates at once, this will be much quicker than doing an if check for every date:
t_after2011 = t(year(t) >= 2011);
for ii = 1:length(t_after2011)
myfunction(t_after2011(ii));
end
If it is a cell array of strings, you can convert it to datetime first using t_datetime = datetime(t);
Convert your dates to date vectors using datevec. Now you can access the years from this vectors and put your condition.
str = {'2009-05-07'
'2010-05-09'
'2011-05-16'
'2012-05-21'
'2014-05-24'
'2016-05-27'
'2016-05-31'} ;
vec = datevec(str) ;
for i = 1:size(str,1)
if vec(i,1)>2011
disp(str{i}) ;
end
end
