regional parameters date format

Hi,

I would like to know if it's possible in Matlab to know the curent regional parameter for the date.

I want use the function: datenum(time_array_string,'dd/mm/yyyy HH:MM:SS') But I'm working with french and US users, so we can have: 'dd/mm/yyyy HH:MM:SS') or 'mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:SS') That's why I want check the regional parameters to know the date format.

Thanks by advance, Noura Chabane

Would time zone info be enough?

java.util.Date

Get the current language:

get(0, 'Language');

This allows to recognize Japanese users, who run Matlab in their home language during a visit in a French institute in Greenland.

That's helpful, but what I really want is the date format. If I use "get(0, 'Language');" I have to know for each country the date format. I want somethong like get(0, 'Date_Format') ?????
