Hey I got this
hund = datetime(end_stamp, 'convertfrom','posixtime')
% which give this:
hund =
datetime
05-Nov-2018 00:00:00
Because this one hit time 00:00:00 and I use datestr i get this:
hund = datestr(hund)
hund = '05-Nov-2018'
But I need to get the exact line as a string:
hund = '05-Nov-2018 00:00:00'
Anyone have an idea ?

Rather than using deprecated DATESTR, it is much better to stick with the DATETIME object itself:
t = datetime('03-Nov-2018 00:00:00','InputFormat','dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss')
t.Format = 'dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss'

The deprecated DATESTR/DATENUM, etc used a simple, consistent, venerable format presumably devised by TMW.
In contrast DATETIME uses the Unicode Locale Data Markup Language (LDML) standard for dates and times:
