From: Olivier on 15 Apr 2010 02:34 Hi I have a user interface where user is prompted to enter a date in a format 'dd/mm/yy'. I would like to check that if user has entered a valid date or not. I thought of using datenum(dateinput,'dd/mm/yy') with a view that if a user inputs a wrong date then datenum will return an error. It does not work. if dateinput = '01/13/10' (which is not a valid date) to my surprise I have got a result 734504 which is equivalent to '01/01/11'. One way i could think of is extracting the numbers from the string and check.I would like to know if there is any simple of doing it. Thank You in advance Sumit
