* Clients are encouraged to create a date-time formatter using DateFormat::getInstance(), * getDateInstance(), getDateInstance(), or getDateTimeInstance() rather than * explicitly constructing an instance of SimpleDateFormat. This way, the client * is guaranteed to get an appropriate formatting pattern for whatever locale the * program is running in. However, if the client needs something more unusual than * the default patterns in the locales, he can construct a SimpleDateFormat directly * and give it an appropriate pattern (or use one of the factory methods on DateFormat * and modify the pattern after the fact with toPattern() and applyPattern(). * *
Date and Time Patterns:
* *Date and time formats are specified by date and time pattern strings.
* Within date and time pattern strings, all unquoted ASCII letters [A-Za-z] are reserved
* as pattern letters representing calendar fields. SimpleDateFormat supports
* the date and time formatting algorithm and pattern letters defined by
* UTS#35
* Unicode Locale Data Markup Language (LDML) and further documented for ICU in the
* ICU
* User Guide. The following pattern letters are currently available:
| Field | *Sym. | *No. | *Example | *Description | *||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| era | *G | *1..3 | *AD | *Era - Replaced with the Era string for the current date. One to three letters for the * abbreviated form, four letters for the long form, five for the narrow form. | *||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 4 | *Anno Domini | *|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 5 | *A | *|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| year | *y | *1..n | *1996 | *Year. Normally the length specifies the padding, but for two letters it also specifies the maximum
* length. Example:
*
*
|
* ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Y | *1..n | *1997 | *Year (in "Week of Year" based calendars). Normally the length specifies the padding, * but for two letters it also specifies the maximum length. This year designation is used in ISO * year-week calendar as defined by ISO 8601, but can be used in non-Gregorian based calendar systems * where week date processing is desired. May not always be the same value as calendar year. | *|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| u | *1..n | *4601 | *Extended year. This is a single number designating the year of this calendar system, encompassing * all supra-year fields. For example, for the Julian calendar system, year numbers are positive, with an * era of BCE or CE. An extended year value for the Julian calendar system assigns positive values to CE * years and negative values to BCE years, with 1 BCE being year 0. | *|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| U | *1..3 | *甲子 | *Cyclic year name. Calendars such as the Chinese lunar calendar (and related calendars) * and the Hindu calendars use 60-year cycles of year names. Use one through three letters for the abbreviated * name, four for the full name, or five for the narrow name (currently the data only provides abbreviated names, * which will be used for all requested name widths). If the calendar does not provide cyclic year name data, * or if the year value to be formatted is out of the range of years for which cyclic name data is provided, * then numeric formatting is used (behaves like 'y'). | *|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 4 | *(currently also 甲子) | *|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 5 | *(currently also 甲子) | *|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| quarter | *Q | *1..2 | *02 | *Quarter - Use one or two for the numerical quarter, three for the abbreviation, or four * for the full name. | *||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| F | *1 | *2 | *Day of Week in Month. The example is for the 2nd Wed in July | *|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| g | *1..n | *2451334 | *Modified Julian day. This is different from the conventional Julian day number in two regards. * First, it demarcates days at local zone midnight, rather than noon GMT.

It can be thought of as a single number that encompasses * all the date-related fields. | *|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| week * day |

| A | *1..n | *69540000 | *Milliseconds in day. This field behaves exactly like a composite of all time-related fields, * not including the zone fields.

* Any characters in the pattern that are not in the ranges of ['a'..'z'] and * ['A'..'Z'] will be treated as quoted text. For instance, characters * like ':', '.', ' ', '#' and '@' will appear in the resulting time text * even they are not embraced within single quotes. *
* A pattern containing any invalid pattern letter will result in a failing * UErrorCode result during formatting or parsing. *
* Examples using the US locale: *
* \code * Format Pattern Result * -------------- ------- * "yyyy.MM.dd G 'at' HH:mm:ss vvvv" ->> 1996.07.10 AD at 15:08:56 Pacific Time * "EEE, MMM d, ''yy" ->> Wed, July 10, '96 * "h:mm a" ->> 12:08 PM * "hh 'o''clock' a, zzzz" ->> 12 o'clock PM, Pacific Daylight Time * "K:mm a, vvv" ->> 0:00 PM, PT * "yyyyy.MMMMM.dd GGG hh:mm aaa" ->> 1996.July.10 AD 12:08 PM * \endcode ** Code Sample: *
* \code
* UErrorCode success = U_ZERO_ERROR;
* SimpleTimeZone* pdt = new SimpleTimeZone(-8 * 60 * 60 * 1000, "PST");
* pdt->setStartRule( Calendar::APRIL, 1, Calendar::SUNDAY, 2*60*60*1000);
* pdt->setEndRule( Calendar::OCTOBER, -1, Calendar::SUNDAY, 2*60*60*1000);
*
* // Format the current time.
* SimpleDateFormat* formatter
* = new SimpleDateFormat ("yyyy.MM.dd G 'at' hh:mm:ss a zzz", success );
* GregorianCalendar cal(success);
* UDate currentTime_1 = cal.getTime(success);
* FieldPosition fp(0);
* UnicodeString dateString;
* formatter->format( currentTime_1, dateString, fp );
* cout << "result: " << dateString << endl;
*
* // Parse the previous string back into a Date.
* ParsePosition pp(0);
* UDate currentTime_2 = formatter->parse(dateString, pp );
* \endcode
*
* In the above example, the time value "currentTime_2" obtained from parsing
* will be equal to currentTime_1. However, they may not be equal if the am/pm
* marker 'a' is left out from the format pattern while the "hour in am/pm"
* pattern symbol is used. This information loss can happen when formatting the
* time in PM.
*
*
* When parsing a date string using the abbreviated year pattern ("y" or "yy"),
* SimpleDateFormat must interpret the abbreviated year
* relative to some century. It does this by adjusting dates to be
* within 80 years before and 20 years after the time the SimpleDateFormat
* instance is created. For example, using a pattern of "MM/dd/yy" and a
* SimpleDateFormat instance created on Jan 1, 1997, the string
* "01/11/12" would be interpreted as Jan 11, 2012 while the string "05/04/64"
* would be interpreted as May 4, 1964.
* During parsing, only strings consisting of exactly two digits, as defined by
* Unicode::isDigit(), will be parsed into the default century.
* Any other numeric string, such as a one digit string, a three or more digit
* string, or a two digit string that isn't all digits (for example, "-1"), is
* interpreted literally. So "01/02/3" or "01/02/003" are parsed (for the
* Gregorian calendar), using the same pattern, as Jan 2, 3 AD. Likewise (but
* only in lenient parse mode, the default) "01/02/-3" is parsed as Jan 2, 4 BC.
*
*
* If the year pattern has more than two 'y' characters, the year is * interpreted literally, regardless of the number of digits. So using the * pattern "MM/dd/yyyy", "01/11/12" parses to Jan 11, 12 A.D. * *
* When numeric fields abut one another directly, with no intervening delimiter * characters, they constitute a run of abutting numeric fields. Such runs are * parsed specially. For example, the format "HHmmss" parses the input text * "123456" to 12:34:56, parses the input text "12345" to 1:23:45, and fails to * parse "1234". In other words, the leftmost field of the run is flexible, * while the others keep a fixed width. If the parse fails anywhere in the run, * then the leftmost field is shortened by one character, and the entire run is * parsed again. This is repeated until either the parse succeeds or the * leftmost field is one character in length. If the parse still fails at that * point, the parse of the run fails. * *
* For time zones that have no names, SimpleDateFormat uses strings GMT+hours:minutes or * GMT-hours:minutes. *
* The calendar defines what is the first day of the week, the first week of the * year, whether hours are zero based or not (0 vs 12 or 24), and the timezone. * There is one common number format to handle all the numbers; the digit count * is handled programmatically according to the pattern. * *
User subclasses are not supported.
