Detailed Description
C API: DateFormat.
Date Format C API consists of functions that convert dates and times from their internal representations to textual form and back again in a language-independent manner. Converting from the internal representation (milliseconds since midnight, January 1, 1970) to text is known as "formatting," and converting from text to millis is known as "parsing." We currently define only one concrete structure UDateFormat, which can handle pretty much all normal date formatting and parsing actions.
Date Format helps you to format and parse dates for any locale. Your code can be completely independent of the locale conventions for months, days of the week, or even the calendar format: lunar vs. solar.
To format a date for the current Locale with default time and date style, use one of the static factory methods:
UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
UChar *myString;
int32_t myStrlen = 0;
UDateFormat* dfmt = udat_open(UDAT_DEFAULT, UDAT_DEFAULT, NULL, NULL, -1, NULL, -1, &status);
myStrlen = udat_format(dfmt, myDate, NULL, myStrlen, NULL, &status);
if (status==U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR){
status=U_ZERO_ERROR;
myString=(UChar*)malloc(sizeof(UChar) * (myStrlen+1) );
udat_format(dfmt, myDate, myString, myStrlen+1, NULL, &status);
}
If you are formatting multiple numbers, it is more efficient to get the format and use it multiple times so that the system doesn't have to fetch the information about the local language and country conventions multiple times.
UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
int32_t i, myStrlen = 0;
UChar* myString;
char buffer[1024];
UDate myDateArr[] = { 0.0, 100000000.0, 2000000000.0 };
UDateFormat* df = udat_open(UDAT_DEFAULT, UDAT_DEFAULT, NULL, NULL, -1, NULL, 0, &status);
for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
myStrlen = udat_format(df, myDateArr[i], NULL, myStrlen, NULL, &status);
if(status == U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR){
status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
myString = (UChar*)malloc(sizeof(UChar) * (myStrlen+1) );
udat_format(df, myDateArr[i], myString, myStrlen+1, NULL, &status);
printf("%s\n", u_austrcpy(buffer, myString) );
free(myString);
}
}
To get specific fields of a date, you can use UFieldPosition to get specific fields.
UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
UFieldPosition pos;
UChar *myString;
int32_t myStrlen = 0;
char buffer[1024];
pos.field = 1;
UDateFormat* dfmt = udat_open(UDAT_DEFAULT, UDAT_DEFAULT, NULL, -1, NULL, 0, &status);
myStrlen = udat_format(dfmt, myDate, NULL, myStrlen, &pos, &status);
if (status==U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR){
status=U_ZERO_ERROR;
myString=(UChar*)malloc(sizeof(UChar) * (myStrlen+1) );
udat_format(dfmt, myDate, myString, myStrlen+1, &pos, &status);
}
printf("date format: %s\n", u_austrcpy(buffer, myString));
buffer[pos.endIndex] = 0;
printf("UFieldPosition position equals %s\n", &buffer[pos.beginIndex]);
To format a date for a different Locale, specify it in the call to udat_open()
You can use a DateFormat API udat_parse() to parse.
You can pass in different options for the arguments for date and time style to control the length of the result; from SHORT to MEDIUM to LONG to FULL. The exact result depends on the locale, but generally: see UDateFormatStyle for more details
-
UDAT_SHORT is completely numeric, such as 12/13/52 or 3:30pm
-
UDAT_MEDIUM is longer, such as Jan 12, 1952
-
UDAT_LONG is longer, such as January 12, 1952 or 3:30:32pm
-
UDAT_FULL is pretty completely specified, such as Tuesday, April 12, 1952 AD or 3:30:42pm PST.
You can also set the time zone on the format if you wish.
You can also use forms of the parse and format methods with Parse Position and UFieldPosition to allow you to
-
Progressively parse through pieces of a string.
-
Align any particular field, or find out where it is for selection on the screen.

Open a new UDateFormat for formatting and parsing dates and times.
A UDateFormat may be used to format dates in calls to udat_format, and to parse dates in calls to udat_parse. - Parameters:
-
| timeStyle | The style used to format times; one of UDAT_FULL, UDAT_LONG, UDAT_MEDIUM, UDAT_SHORT, or UDAT_DEFAULT |
| dateStyle | The style used to format dates; one of UDAT_FULL, UDAT_LONG, UDAT_MEDIUM, UDAT_SHORT, or UDAT_DEFAULT |
| locale | The locale specifying the formatting conventions |
| tzID | A timezone ID specifying the timezone to use. If 0, use the default timezone. |
| tzIDLength | The length of tzID, or -1 if null-terminated. |
| pattern | A pattern specifying the format to use. |
| patternLength | The number of characters in the pattern, or -1 if null-terminated. |
| status | A pointer to an UErrorCode to receive any errors |
- Returns:
- A pointer to a UDateFormat to use for formatting dates and times, or 0 if an error occurred.
- Stable:
- ICU 2.0

|
Parse a string into an date/time using a UDateFormat.
The date will be parsed using the conventions specified in udat_open - Parameters:
-
| format | The formatter to use. |
| text | The text to parse. |
| textLength | The length of text, or -1 if null-terminated. |
| parsePos | If not 0, on input a pointer to an integer specifying the offset at which to begin parsing. If not 0, on output the offset at which parsing ended. |
| status | A pointer to an UErrorCode to receive any errors |
- Returns:
- The value of the parsed date/time
- See also:
- udat_format
- Stable:
- ICU 2.0

| calendar | The calendar in which to store the parsed data. |
| text | The text to parse. |
| textLength | The length of text, or -1 if null-terminated. |
| parsePos | If not 0, on input a pointer to an integer specifying the offset at which to begin parsing. If not 0, on output the offset at which parsing ended. |
| status | A pointer to an UErrorCode to receive any errors |

Set the year relative to which all 2-digit years will be interpreted.
For example, if the 2-digit start year is 2100, the year 99 will be interpreted as 2199. - Parameters:
-
| fmt | The formatter to set. |
| d | The year relative to which all 2-digit years will be interpreted. |
| status | A pointer to an UErrorCode to receive any errors |
- See also:
- udat_Set2DigitYearStart
- Stable:
- ICU 2.0
|
|
Set the UCalendar associated with an UDateFormat.
A UDateFormat uses a UCalendar to convert a raw value to, for example, the day of the week. - Parameters:
-
| fmt | The formatter to set. |
| calendarToSet | A pointer to an UCalendar to be used by fmt. |
- See also:
- udat_setCalendar
- Stable:
- ICU 2.0
|
|
Specify whether an UDateFormat will perform lenient parsing.
With lenient parsing, the parser may use heuristics to interpret inputs that do not precisely match the pattern. With strict parsing, inputs must match the pattern. - Parameters:
-
| fmt | The formatter to set |
| isLenient | TRUE if fmt should perform lenient parsing, FALSE otherwise. |
- See also:
- dat_isLenient
- Stable:
- ICU 2.0
|
|
Set the UNumberFormat associated with an UDateFormat.
A UDateFormat uses a UNumberFormat to format numbers within a date, for example the day number. - Parameters:
-
| fmt | The formatter to set. |
| numberFormatToSet | A pointer to the UNumberFormat to be used by fmt to format numbers. |
- See also:
- udat_getNumberFormat
- Stable:
- ICU 2.0
|
|
Set the symbols associated with an UDateFormat.
The symbols are what a UDateFormat uses to represent locale-specific data, for example month or day names. - Parameters:
-
| format | The formatter to set |
| type | The type of symbols to set. One of UDAT_ERAS, UDAT_MONTHS, UDAT_SHORT_MONTHS, UDAT_WEEKDAYS, UDAT_SHORT_WEEKDAYS, UDAT_AM_PMS, or UDAT_LOCALIZED_CHARS |
| index | The index of the symbol to set of type type. |
| value | The new value |
| valueLength | The length of value, or -1 if null-terminated |
| status | A pointer to an UErrorCode to receive any errors |
- See also:
- udat_getSymbols
udat_countSymbols
- Stable:
- ICU 2.0
|
|
Extract the pattern from a UDateFormat.
The pattern will follow the pattern syntax rules. - Parameters:
-
| fmt | The formatter to query. |
| localized | TRUE if the pattern should be localized, FALSE otherwise. |
| result | A pointer to a buffer to receive the pattern. |
| resultLength | The maximum size of result. |
| status | A pointer to an UErrorCode to receive any errors |
- Returns:
- The total buffer size needed; if greater than resultLength, the output was truncated.
