I have string dates say (05.01.1993 17:40:00) and (07.01.1993 09:50:00) is there a way to calculate the number of months/days/hours between these two dates?

date1=datenum(1993,5,1)
date2=datenum(1993,7,1)
v=datestr(datenum(date1:date2))
n=numel(v) %number of days

%-------Number of days--------
date1=datenum(1993,5,1)
date2=datenum(1993,7,1)
v=datestr(datenum(date1:date2))
n=numel(v) %number of days
%-------Number of minutes--------
d2=('09:50:00')
d1=('17:40:00')
minut=hour(d2)*60+minute(d2)-(hour(d1)*60+minute(d1))
Result=n*24*60+minut

I think numel is not counting the number of days instead I used length(v)
