Convert string to datenum

I have a date string in this format

20151201T011654

I am trying to use the function datenum like this but I get an error:

formatOut = 'yyyymmTHHMMss';
Time = datenum(TimeStr,formatOut)

I suspect my formatOut is wrong?

First you forgot the days dd and second the T can't be handled, get rid of it:

TimeStr = '20151201T011654'
formatOut = 'yyyymmddHHMMss';
Time = datenum(strrep(TimeStr,'T',''),formatOut)
