Matlab Timer , time format

Hello All,

I am using "timer" to capture time between two events in matlab. And timer call back function reports time in seconds. Is there any way to change the format, like i want to report the time in hh:mm:ss format. In the application i have to display every 1 second time interval and it is reporting time for every one 1 second. I want to report the time in hh;mm:ss format. Is there a way to change the time display format using "timer" function

//below is the code for timer declaration

t_obj = timer;

t_obj.ExecutionMode = 'fixedRate';

t_obj.Period = 1; % seconds

t_obj.StartDelay = 0;

t_obj.TimerFcn = @(~,~)set(handles.timeStr,'String',regexprep(handles.timeStr.String,'^\d+','${num2str(str2double($0)+1)}'));

// code for using starting timer

function pushbuttoncallback((hObject, eventdata, handles)

handles = guidata(hObject);

start(handles.timer)

// execute code : time taken to run code is mimicked by pause function

pause(10)

stop(handles.timer);

end
