Question

Is there a simple function to convert a time that's like this: 10:30pm 17 Aug 2016 NZST to 2016-8-17-2230

Answer 1

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;

public class Main {
   public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception {
       SimpleDateFormat displayFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd-HHmm");

       Date date = new Date();//Current Date 
       System.out.println(displayFormat.format(date));
   }
}
