Class FmtDate

java.lang.Object
org.supercsv.cellprocessor.CellProcessorAdaptor
org.supercsv.cellprocessor.FmtDate
All Implemented Interfaces:
CellProcessor, DateCellProcessor
public class FmtDate extends CellProcessorAdaptor implements DateCellProcessor
Converts a date into a formatted string using the SimpleDateFormat class. If you want to convert from a String to a Date, use the ParseDate processor.

Some example date formats you can use are:
"dd/MM/yyyy" (formats a date as "25/12/2011")
"dd-MMM-yy" (formats a date as "25-Dec-11")
"yyyy.MM.dd.HH.mm.ss" (formats a date as "2011.12.25.08.36.33"
"E, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss Z" (formats a date as "Tue, 25 Dec 2011 08:36:33 -0500")
