Compress a folder using tar in MATLAB

I try compress a folder in MATLAB using tar. I want to assign the current date as the name of the archive file. When I try 

tar 'datestr(now)' FooFolder

Nothing happens. With

tar datestr(now) FooFolder

the name of the archive file is datestr(now).tar as expected. What is the solution?

The documentation is quite clear, use the function syntax:

tar(tarfilename,files)

Example:

tar(datestr(now),'FooFolder')
