time2str obsolete in next version?

Hi everyone,

I ran some .m files I created a while back and up popped a few errors
related to the time2str function in the mapping toolbox. The error says:

"The following functions to convert between time units and encodings
will be removed from a future release of Mapping Toolbox" (and includes
time2str among others... then they say for compatibility:

"These functions remain available, but when they are invoked now issue
warnings that they are obsolete."

So, if they're being removed, what are they to be replaced with?! I
like writing out some of my data to text files, and include this
function in order to output the creation date in a file-header.

Thanks for your thoughts, guys! [feel free to tell me I'm crazy] :)

datenum()

You may have to use num2str() to convert some components
before sending them to datenum().

Hi Allen,

usually when this happens, the first lines of the help should indicate what
replacements are to be used (or in the release notes):

help time2str

TIME2STR Format time strings

TIME2STR is obsolete and will be removed in the next release. See
DATESTR for an alternative.
