I simply need to print the date of the day on the console in this format: Day.Month.Year. Example: 03.10.09
Code:
GregorianCalendar c = new GregorianCalendar();
Date s = c.getTime();
System.out.println(s);
The console prints:
Sat Oct 03 13:33:36 CEST 2009
I could do it with a case statement, but I am sure there is something more elegant, which I simply didn't find.
GregorianCalendar c = new GregorianCalendar();
Date s = c.getTime();
String dateString = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yy").format(s);
System.out.println(dateString);
Use DateFormat and SimpleDateFormat in the java.text package.
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;
public class FormatDemo
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Calendar c = new GregorianCalendar();
Date s = c.getTime();
DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MMM-dd");
System.out.println(formatter.format(s));
}
}
