This is a variation of Get an array of month-ends by T.D. where the result is now a cell array of date strings.

For example:

date_start = datenum('10 Nov 2010');
date_end   = datenum('10 Feb 2011');
dates_me   = month_ends(date_start, date_end); 
dates_me
dates_me = 
   '30-Nov-2010' '31-Dec-2010' '31-Jan-2011'

This is the improved proper usage of Cell-array version of Challenge 1040. Thanks to J.G. for identifying the proper usage.
