e320. formatting a date using a custom format.txt

这里面包含了一百多个JAVA源文件

A pattern of special characters is used to specify the format of the date. This example demonstrates some of the characters. For a complete listing, see the javadoc documentation for the SimpleDateFormat class. 
Note: This example formats dates using the default locale (which, in the author's case, is Locale.ENGLISH). If the example is run in a different locale, the text (e.g., month names) will not be the same. 

    Format formatter;
    
    // The year
    formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yy");    // 02
    formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy");  // 2002
    
    // The month
    formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("M");     // 1
    formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM");    // 01
    formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM");   // Jan
    formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MMMM");  // January
    
    // The day
    formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("d");     // 9
    formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd");    // 09
    
    // The day in week
    formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("E");     // Wed
    formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE");  // Wednesday
    
    // Get today's date
    Date date = new Date();
    
    // Some examples
    formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yy");
    String s = formatter.format(date);
    // 01/09/02
    
    formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy");
    s = formatter.format(date);
    // 29-Jan-02
    
    // Examples with date and time; see also
    // e316 Formatting the Time Using a Custom Format
    formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy.MM.dd.HH.mm.ss");
    s = formatter.format(date);
    // 2002.01.29.08.36.33
    
    formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("E, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss Z");
    s = formatter.format(date);
    // Tue, 09 Jan 2002 22:14:02 -0500
