Transforming an integer vector into dates text vector

I am having a vector corresponding to dates in the following format yyyymmdd, ie for December 24th, 2010 it is 20101224. How can I transform this vector of integers into text dates in the following format 'mm-dd-yyyy'?

 Accepted Answer

Assuming your original vector is numeric, there are two options:
dates = [20101224; 20101225; 20101226];
ds1 = datestr(datenum(num2str(dates), 'yyyymmdd'), 'mm-dd-yyyy'); % Use ‘datenum’ & ‘datestr’
ds2 = datetime(num2str(dates), 'InputFormat','yyyyMMdd', 'Format','MM-dd-yyyy'); % Use ‘datetime’
