Class TimeFormat

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable

    public class TimeFormat
    extends java.text.Format
    Format for converting and parsing time.

    The format is expressed in a string as follows:

    m (or any multiple of m's)
    the minutes part (padded with 0's, if number has less digits than the number of m's) m -> 0,1,...,59,60,61,... mm -> 00,01,...,59,60,61,...
    s or ss
    the seconds part (padded with 0's, if number has less digits than the number of s's) s -> 0,1,...,59 ss -> 00,01,...,59
    S
    all seconds (including the ones above 59)

    May not handle all cases, and formats... ;-) Safest is: Always delimiters between the minutes (m) and seconds (s) part.

    Known bugs:

    The last character in the formatString is not escaped, while it should be. The first character after an escaped character is escaped while is shouldn't be.

    This is not a 100% compatible implementation of a java.text.Format.

        Will bug on some formats. It's safest to always use delimiters between the minutes (m) and seconds (s) part.
