format

public static String format(Date self,

Create a String representation of this date according to the given format pattern.

For example, if the system timezone is GMT, new Date(0).format('MM/dd/yy') would return the string "01/01/70". See documentation for SimpleDateFormat for format pattern use.

Note that a new DateFormat instance is created for every invocation of this method (for thread safety).

Parameters:
self - a Date
format - the format pattern to use according to SimpleDateFormat
Returns:
a string representation of this date.
Since:
1.5.7
See Also:
SimpleDateFormat

format

public static String format(Date self,
                            String format,
                            TimeZone tz)

Create a String representation of this date according to the given format pattern and timezone.

For example: def d = new Date(0) def tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone('GMT') println d.format('dd/MMM/yyyy', tz) would return the string "01/Jan/1970". See documentation for SimpleDateFormat for format pattern use.

Note that a new DateFormat instance is created for every invocation of this method (for thread safety).

Parameters:
self - a Date
format - the format pattern to use according to SimpleDateFormat
tz - the TimeZone to use
Returns:
a string representation of this date.
Since:
1.8.3
See Also:
SimpleDateFormat

getDateString

public static String getDateString(Date self)

Return a string representation of the 'day' portion of this date according to the locale-specific DateFormat.SHORT default format. For an "en_UK" system locale, this would be dd/MM/yy.

Note that a new DateFormat instance is created for every invocation of this method (for thread safety).

Parameters:
self - a Date
Returns:
a string representation of this date
Since:
1.5.7
See Also:
DateFormat.getDateInstance(int), DateFormat.SHORT

getTimeString

public static String getTimeString(Date self)

Return a string representation of the time portion of this date according to the locale-specific DateFormat.MEDIUM default format. For an "en_UK" system locale, this would be HH:MM:ss.

Note that a new DateFormat instance is created for every invocation of this method (for thread safety).

Parameters:
self - a Date
Returns:
a string representing the time portion of this date
Since:
1.5.7
See Also:
DateFormat.getTimeInstance(int), DateFormat.MEDIUM

getDateTimeString

public static String getDateTimeString(Date self)

Return a string representation of the date and time time portion of this Date instance, according to the locale-specific format used by DateFormat. This method uses the DateFormat.SHORT preset for the day portion and DateFormat.MEDIUM for the time portion of the output string.

Note that a new DateFormat instance is created for every invocation of this method (for thread safety).

Parameters:
self - a Date
Returns:
a string representation of this date and time
Since:
1.5.7
See Also:
DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(int, int)

clearTime

public static Date clearTime(Date self)
Clears the time portion of this Date instance; Util where it makes sense to compare month/day/year only portions of a Date

Parameters:
self - a Date
Returns:
the Date but with the time portion cleared
Since:
1.6.7

clearTime

public static Date clearTime(Date self)
Clears the time portion of this java.sql.Date instance; useful utility where it makes sense to compare month/day/year only portions of a Date

Parameters:
self - a java.sql.Date
Returns:
the java.sql.Date but with the time portion cleared
Since:
1.6.7

clearTime

public static Calendar clearTime(Calendar self)
Clears the time portion of this Calendar instance; useful utility where it makes sense to compare month/day/year only portions of a Calendar.

Parameters:
self - a Calendar
Returns:
the Calendar but with the time portion cleared
Since:
1.6.7

format

public static String format(Calendar self,
                            String pattern)

Shortcut for SimpleDateFormat to output a String representation of this calendar instance. This method respects the Calendar's assigned TimeZone, whereas calling cal.time.format('HH:mm:ss') would use the system timezone.

Note that Calendar equivalents of date.getDateString() and variants do not exist because those methods are Locale-dependent. Although a Calendar may be assigned a Locale, that information is lost and therefore cannot be used to control the default date/time formats provided by these methods. Instead, the system Locale would always be used. The alternative is to simply call DateFormat.getDateInstance(int, java.util.Locale) and pass the same Locale that was used for the Calendar.

Parameters:
self - this calendar
pattern - format pattern
Returns:
String representation of this calendar with the given format.
Since:
1.6.0
