reading text data consisting of a specific format

I have a text file containing data of the form:

201901010000
201901010100
201901010200
201901010300
201901010400
201901010500
201901010600
201901010700
201901010800
201901010900
201901011000

...

The data reflect date and time information. I'm trying to figure out a way to read these data in and then parse to a matrix that reflects year, month, day, hour etc. The latter is simple, I'm just stuck on how to read the data in. I have explored both textscan and fscanf but nothing obvious springs to mind. For example, read first 4 numbers = year, 5-6=month etc. Thank you

datastr = strsplit(fileread('myTextFile.txt')); 
dateMat = datevec(datastr,'yyyymmddHH'); 

Check that the input format in datevec() describes your datetime format.
