Get the time in clojure

Question

I have the following error :

IllegalArgumentException Parameter declaration .format should be
a vector  clojure.core/assert-valid-fdecl (core.clj:6732)

With this simple function :

(defn getNowDateString

    (.format(java.text.SimpleDateFormat. "ddMMyyyy:HHmmss")(java.util.Date.)))
)

Edit :

In the REPL

 => (.format(java.text.SimpleDateFormat. "ddMMyyyy:HHmmss")(java.util.Date.)))
 "23072013:094839"

Thank you !

I'd recommend you to switch from java.util.Date to clj-time, it's the best datetime solution for clojure:

(unparse (formatter "ddMMyyyy:HHmmss") (now))

Sorry, I forgot vector for function params.

(defn getNowDateString []

    (.format(java.text.SimpleDateFormat. "ddMMyyyy:HHmmss")(java.util.Date.)))
)

Thank you !
