Connecttwo lines of code to one

Hi!

How to connect the last two lines code to one

%%
clc; clear all; close all;

my_data = string('1,3,4,5,6,8')
t1 = datetime('now','TimeZone','local','Format',' HH:mm:ss ')
t2 = datetime('now','TimeZone','local','Format',' HH:mm:ss ')
 data = [t1,t2]
 pat = ":"
 x = split((string(data(:,1))),pat) %this
 x= double(x(2,1)) % and this

Tnx:)

t1 = datetime('now','TimeZone','local','Format',' HH:mm:ss ') ;
t2 = datetime('now','TimeZone','local','Format',' HH:mm:ss ') ;
 data = [t1,t2] ;

data = 1×2 datetime array
    15:27:11     15:27:11 

iwant = 27

 iwant = minute(data(1))

The original code is more complicated and requires me to use these functions

The code here is an example

And so I want to combine the last two lines code

thank you for the answer, but this is not what i need

You make no sense. You need to change your example to resemble your problem more coompletely. The above solution is perfect for your current example.

I want to connect these two lines in one line of code

Why doesn't it make sense?

I am not interested in any other solution

I know it can be solved in an easier way

But it's different from my original code where it can't be done

clc; clear all; close all;
my_data = string('1,3,4,5,6,8')

my_data = "1,3,4,5,6,8"

t1 = datetime('now','TimeZone','local','Format',' HH:mm:ss ')

t1 = datetime
    19:18:25 

t2 = datetime('now','TimeZone','local','Format',' HH:mm:ss ')

t2 = datetime
    19:18:25 

data = [t1,t2];
x=minute(data(1))%here are the two lines combined to one!

x = 18
