I'm trying to create a 1xn array of strings of dates between two dates, incrementing by one day, in the form:
DateArr = [16-Nov-2019, 17-Nov-2019, 18-Nov-2019, ...]
However, I cannot seem to get my code to work, it simply creates an empty 1x0 array instead. Where am I going wrong? I am converting to datetime so that the dates are in scalar form for the DayArr generation, but it is not at all how I expected to create the two scalars (as arrays).
EndDate = '03-feb-2019';
DateVec = datetime(datevec(date));
EndDateVec = datetime(datevec(EndDate));
DayArr = DateVec:EndDateVec;

Try this:
date = '01-jan-2019';
EndDate = '03-feb-2019';
DateVec = datetime(date);
EndDateVec = datetime(EndDate);
DayArr = DateVec:days(1):EndDateVec;
Choose your own day for ‘date’.
