How to extract data from fints using time and NOT dates

I have stock price intra minute data from 09:15 AM to 3:30 PM for last 5 years with dates in fints format. I want to extract data from 09:45 AM to 3:30 PM for all the dates. How can I do it?

datevec() and look at the 4th and 5th columns of the results to decide which are in the desired range.

Could you elaborate how to do it?

Suppose your fints obj is named FT. Then

DV = datevec(FT.dates);
mask = (DV(:,4) == 9 & DV(:,5) >= 15) | (DV(:,4) >= 10 & DV(:,4) <= 14) | (DV(:,4) == 15 && DV(:,5) <= 30);
extracted_FT = FT(mask);
