To format a java.util.Date
object we use the SimpleDateFormat
class. To get back the string pattern that were used to format the date we can use the toPattern()
method of this class.
package org.kodejava.text;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
public class SimpleDateFormatToPattern {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE, dd/MM/yyyy");
// Gets a pattern string describing this date format used by the
// SimpleDateFormat object.
String pattern = format.toPattern();
System.out.println("Pattern = " + pattern);
System.out.println("Date = " + format.format(new Date()));
}
}
The result of the program will be as follow:
Pattern = EEEE, dd/MM/yyyy
Date = Tuesday, 26/10/2021
