class DateTimeFormatter

File Information

Library: Foundation
Package: DateTime
Header: Poco/DateTimeFormatter.h

Description

This class converts dates and times into strings, supporting a variety of standard and custom formats.

There are two kind of static member functions:

  • format* functions return a std::string containing the formatted value.
  • append* functions append the formatted value to an existing string.

Member Summary

Member Functions: append, format, tzdISO, tzdRFC

Enumerations

Anonymous

UTC = 0xFFFF

Special value for timeZoneDifferential denoting UTC.

Member Functions

append static inline

static void append(
    std::string & str,
    const Timestamp & timestamp,
    const std::string & fmt,
    int timeZoneDifferential = UTC
);

Formats the given timestamp according to the given format and appends it to str.

See format() for documentation of the formatting string.

append static

static void append(
    std::string & str,
    const DateTime & dateTime,
    const std::string & fmt,
    int timeZoneDifferential = UTC
);

Formats the given date and time according to the given format and appends it to str.

See format() for documentation of the formatting string.

append static

static void append(
    std::string & str,
    const LocalDateTime & dateTime,
    const std::string & fmt
);

Formats the given local date and time according to the given format and appends it to str.

See format() for documentation of the formatting string.

append static

static void append(
    std::string & str,
    const Timespan & timespan,
    const std::string & fmt = "%dd %H:%M:%S.%i"
);

Formats the given timespan according to the given format and appends it to str.

See format() for documentation of the formatting string.

format static inline

static std::string format(
    const Timestamp & timestamp,
    const std::string & fmt,
    int timeZoneDifferential = UTC
);

Formats the given timestamp according to the given format. The format string is used as a template to format the date and is copied character by character except for the following special characters, which are replaced by the corresponding value.

  • %w - abbreviated weekday (Mon, Tue, ...)
  • %W - full weekday (Monday, Tuesday, ...)
  • %b - abbreviated month (Jan, Feb, ...)
  • %B - full month (January, February, ...)
  • %d - zero-padded day of month (01 .. 31)
  • %e - day of month (1 .. 31)
  • %f - space-padded day of month ( 1 .. 31)
  • %m - zero-padded month (01 .. 12)
  • %n - month (1 .. 12)
  • %o - space-padded month ( 1 .. 12)
  • %y - year without century (70)
  • %Y - year with century (1970)
  • %H - hour (00 .. 23)
  • %h - hour (00 .. 12)
  • %a - am/pm
  • %A - AM/PM
  • %M - minute (00 .. 59)
  • %S - second (00 .. 59)
  • %s - seconds and microseconds (equivalent to %S.%F)
  • %i - millisecond (000 .. 999)
  • %c - centisecond (0 .. 9)
  • %F - fractional seconds/microseconds (000000 - 999999)
  • %z - time zone differential in ISO 8601 format (Z or +NN.NN)
  • %Z - time zone differential in RFC format (GMT or +NNNN)
  • %% - percent sign

Class DateTimeFormat defines format strings for various standard date/time formats.

format static

static std::string format(
    const DateTime & dateTime,
    const std::string & fmt,
    int timeZoneDifferential = UTC
);

Formats the given date and time according to the given format. See format(const Timestamp&, const std::string&, int) for more information.

format static

static std::string format(
    const LocalDateTime & dateTime,
    const std::string & fmt
);

Formats the given local date and time according to the given format. See format(const Timestamp&, const std::string&, int) for more information.

format static

static std::string format(
    const Timespan & timespan,
    const std::string & fmt = "%dd %H:%M:%S.%i"
);

Formats the given timespan according to the given format. The format string is used as a template to format the date and is copied character by character except for the following special characters, which are replaced by the corresponding value.

  • %d - days
  • %H - hours (00 .. 23)
  • %h - total hours (0 .. n)
  • %M - minutes (00 .. 59)
  • %m - total minutes (0 .. n)
  • %S - seconds (00 .. 59)
  • %s - total seconds (0 .. n)
  • %i - milliseconds (000 .. 999)
  • %c - centisecond (0 .. 9)
  • %F - fractional seconds/microseconds (000000 - 999999)
  • %% - percent sign

tzdISO static inline

static std::string tzdISO(
    int timeZoneDifferential
);

Formats the given timezone differential in ISO format. If timeZoneDifferential is UTC, "Z" is returned, otherwise, +HH.MM (or -HH.MM) is returned.

tzdISO static

static void tzdISO(
    std::string & str,
    int timeZoneDifferential
);

Formats the given timezone differential in ISO format and appends it to the given string. If timeZoneDifferential is UTC, "Z" is returned, otherwise, +HH.MM (or -HH.MM) is returned.

tzdRFC static inline

static std::string tzdRFC(
    int timeZoneDifferential
);

Formats the given timezone differential in RFC format. If timeZoneDifferential is UTC, "GMT" is returned, otherwise ++HHMM (or -HHMM) is returned.

tzdRFC static

static void tzdRFC(
    std::string & str,
    int timeZoneDifferential
);

Formats the given timezone differential in RFC format and appends it to the given string. If timeZoneDifferential is UTC, "GMT" is returned, otherwise ++HHMM (or -HHMM) is returned.
