conversion of hexadecimal timestamps

I have dates and times as hexadecimal timestamps. I want to convert them into date vectors or the like. Is there a way to do this in Matlab?

Answer 1

[Stephen23]

>> datevec(hex2dec('577aaa0e')/86400 + datenum(1970,1,1))
ans =
        2016           7           4          18          25          18

The HEX date likely encodes a UNIX timestamp, if so the above conversion will convert this into a MATLAB datevec.

use hex2dec command

a='10'
b=hex2dec(a)

I tried that but it doesn't solve my problem. I still get a decimal timestamp which I can't translate into dates and times as a vector.

One example. I have a timestamp '577aaa0e' which stands for '2016-07-04 20:25:18'. I need some command that does this conversion.

How your hexadecimal number is related to your date?

the hexadecimal timestamp is generated automatically, presumably it is a unix feature.
