Convert time

Hi, I'm a student at university and I'd like to convert time to values usable by matlab to calculate some variables.
The values of time I have are in a xls. file and they're writen like this one 8:15 (a quarter ast eight). I tried replacing : by . but it only makes matlab read it like a decimal number 8,15.
What I want is to convert that to eight hours and fifteen minutes. I have to do it in matlab because there are too many values in the excel file.

You could try datestr,datenum
doc datestr
doc datenum
Eg. Suppose you have 8:15 in the text, xls file, import it as string
c='8:15';
datestr(c,'HH:MM')
ans =
08:15
or convert into datenum for further calculations..
