RE: Date formatting

Posted by Kishori Sharan on September 08, 2000 at 12:55 PM

Hi

I have written a short program to illustrate the date formatting. It may help you.

Thanx
Kishori
///////////////////Test.java
import java.util.* ;
import java.text.* ;

class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {

// Get the curent date
Date dt = new Date () ;

// Set the date format as mm/dd/yyyy to display 09/08/2000
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat ( "MM/dd/yyyy" );
System.out.println( df.format ( dt ) );

// Set the date format as d MMM yyyy to display o8 Sep 2000
//df = new SimpleDateFormat ( "d MMM yyyy" );
df.applyPattern ( "d MMM yyyy" ) ;
System.out.println( df.format ( dt ) );
}

}
