Date Format (e.g. Tuesday 28th September 2010) Issue

[Karn Kumar]

Hi All ,

Can anyone suggest how to get the date format like "Tuesday 28th September 2010" or "Saturday 1st January 2010" in java .


Thanks in advance to all of you for your suggestion.

Regards,
Chetan.

Ya Mohamed,

There are various format which are useful but not exactly what we want like (e.g. Tuesday 28th September 2010).Do we need to explicitly mention (like "th" in the "28th") in the array for each from 1 to 31 so we can use that.

Regards,
Chetan.

You should find something useful in the documentation for Formatter. There is also this class, but it appears to be a Swing class, so probably less useful.

You may have to write your own utility method to get "th": remember 1 21 31 = "st" 2 22 = "nd" 3 = "rd" remainder = "th". If you get the 33rd of the month, you have got problems

12 -> twelfth, not twelveth. There are always exceptions.

[Campbell Ritchie]

Yes, but he wants to print "12th" not "twelfth".

[Rob Spoor]

Ah right. Then ignore my previous post.
