Format of date
Submitted by Anonymous on Monday, 26 January, 2004 - 12:26
Hey all, Trying to customize the stock Insert_Date.bsh macro to use the format I want but can't get it to work. So I tried this, and it didn't work either. What am I doing wrong?
    Date today;
    String output;
    SimpleDateFormat formatter;

    formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("E, M d, y - h :m  a", currentLocale);
    today = new Date();
    output = formatter.format(today);

    // inserting date and internet time to textarea
    textArea.setSelectedText(ouput);
Thanks in advance

java.text.SimpleDateFormat formatter = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("E, M d, y - h :m a");
// inserting date and internet time to textarea
textArea.setSelectedText(formatter.format(new Date()));
