email.utils has a parsedate() function for the RFC 2822 format, which as far as I know is not deprecated. >>> import email.utils >>> import time >>> import datetime >>> email.utils.parsedate(‘Mon, 16 Nov 2009 13:32:02 +0100’) (2009, 11, 16, 13, 32, 2, 0, 1, -1) >>> time.mktime((2009, 11, 16, 13, 32, 2, 0, 1, -1)) 1258378322.0 … Read more
I like lubridate for its ease of use: library(lubridate) # note added ugly formats below data <- data.frame(initialDiagnose = c(“14.01.2009”, “9/22/2005”, “4/21/2010”, “28.01.2010”, “09.01.2009”, “3/28/2005”, “04.01.2005”, “04.01.2005”, “Created on 9/17/2010”, “03 01 2010”)) mdy <- mdy(data$initialDiagnose) dmy <- dmy(data$initialDiagnose) mdy[is.na(mdy)] <- dmy[is.na(mdy)] # some dates are ambiguous, here we give data$initialDiagnose <- mdy # mdy … Read more
Angular.js has a built-in date filter. demo // in your controller: $scope.date=”20140313T00:00:00″; // in your view, date property, filtered with date filter and format ‘MM/dd/yyyy’ <p ng-bind=”date | date:’MM/dd/yyyy'”></p> // produces 03/13/2014 You can see the supported date formats in the source for the date filter. edit: If you’re trying to get the correct format … Read more
The month name is in English, so you’d better set a java.util.Locale in the formatter. If you don’t set it, the formatter will use the JVM default locale. And if it’s not English, you might get an error (and different environments might have different configurations, so it’s better to set the locale instead of relying … Read more
You may want to try var d = new Date(); d.toLocaleString(); // -> “2/1/2013 7:37:08 AM” d.toLocaleDateString(); // -> “2/1/2013” d.toLocaleTimeString(); // -> “7:38:05 AM” Documentation
You may also pass the float value, and use: String.format(“%.2f”, floatValue); Documentation
Update (7 years later) The reference cited in the original answer below was wrong. There is a built in function for this, which is exactly what kaiser suggests below: toLocaleString So you can do: (1234567.89).toLocaleString(‘en’) // for numeric input parseFloat(“1234567.89”).toLocaleString(‘en’) // for string input The function implemented below works, too, but simply isn’t necessary. (I … Read more
I find using str.format much more elegant: >>> ‘{0: <5}’.format(‘s’) ‘s ‘ >>> ‘{0: <5}’.format(‘ss’) ‘ss ‘ >>> ‘{0: <5}’.format(‘sss’) ‘sss ‘ >>> ‘{0: <5}’.format(‘ssss’) ‘ssss ‘ >>> ‘{0: <5}’.format(‘sssss’) ‘sssss’ In case you want to align the string to the right use > instead of <: >>> ‘{0: >5}’.format(‘ss’) ‘ ss’ Edit 1: As … Read more
kk: (01-24) will look like 01, 02..24. HH:(00-23) will look like 00, 01..23. hh:(01-12 in AM/PM) will look like 01, 02..12. so the last printout (working2) is a bit weird. It should say 12:00:00 (edit: if you were setting the working2 timezone and format, which (as kdagli pointed out) you are not)
The pattern is wrong. You have a 3-letter day abbreviation, so it must be EEE. You have a 3-letter month abbreviation, so it must be MMM. As those day and month abbreviations are locale sensitive, you’d like to explicitly specify the SimpleDateFormat locale to English as well, otherwise it will use the platform default locale … Read more
