I have a matrix of dates [year, month, day, hour, minutes, seconds] ex:
A=[2004 6 18 13 8 0; 2004 7 19 13 45 2; 2004 8 18 13 8 13;2004 8 18 13 9 41;2004 9 18 13 9 50;2005 1 20 13 12 38; 2005 1 17 13 12 45; 2005 2 12 12 12 23; 2005 4 12 12 12 24; 2005 4 12 12 13 49; 2005 12 12 12 13 49; 2005 12 12 12 28 20]
and I want to delete all the dates before (2004 7 22 13 23 11) and after (2005 11 23 12 14 1), can you help me?
I want how result
A=[2004 8 18 13 8 13;2004 8 18 13 9 41;2004 9 18 13 9 50;2005 1 20 13 12 38; 2005 1 17 13 12 45; 2005 2 12 12 12 23; 2005 4 12 12 12 24; 2005 4 12 12 13 49]

+1: This uses the modern datetime methods. A simplification:
% Directly instead of datevec(Ad(...))
iwant = A(Ad>d0d & Ad < d1d, :)
