Pack Time with "0"

[firewalll]

Dear All,


private String getTxnDateTime() throws Exception {
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();

return Integer.toString(cal.get(Calendar.YEAR)) +
Integer.toString(cal.get(Calendar.MONTH)+1) +
Integer.toString(cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)) +
Integer.toString(cal.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY)) +
Integer.toString(cal.get(Calendar.MINUTE)) +
Integer.toString(cal.get(Calendar.SECOND)) ;
}


it will return sth like "2009911195551"
But I would like to return fix length 14
that is "20090911195551"
what should I do to pack the value with "0"???

System.out.printf.

Even better is SimpleDateFormat

Ｐroblem Solved with the following code

private String getTxnDateTime() throws Exception {
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
String pattern="00";
java.text.DecimalFormat df = new java.text.DecimalFormat(pattern);
String tempTime = null;
tempTime = Integer.toString(cal.get(Calendar.YEAR)) +
df.format(cal.get(Calendar.MONTH)+1) +
df.format(cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)) +
df.format(cal.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY)) +
df.format(cal.get(Calendar.MINUTE)) +
df.format(cal.get(Calendar.SECOND)) ;


return tempTime ;
}
