The toPattern() method of java.text.MessageFormat class is used to get string representation of the current pattern of this message format object.
Syntax:
public String toPattern()
Parameter: This method does not take any argument as a parameter.
Return Value: This method returns string representation of the current pattern of this message format object.
Below are the examples to illustrate the toPattern() method:
Example 1:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate// toPattern() methodimport java.text.*;import java.util.*;import java.io.*;public class GFG { public static void main(String[] argv) { // creating and initializing MessageFormat MessageFormat mf = new MessageFormat("{0, number, #}, {2, date, #.#}, {4, time}"); // getting the pattern // of this MessageFormat Object // using toPattern() method String patt = mf.toPattern(); // display the result System.out.println("current pattern of MessageFormat Object : " + patt); }} |
Output:
current pattern of MessageFormat Object : {0, number, #}, {2, date, #.#}, {4, time}
Example 2:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate// toPattern() methodimport java.text.*;import java.util.*;import java.io.*;public class GFG { public static void main(String[] argv) { // creating and initializing MessageFormat MessageFormat mf = new MessageFormat("{0, number, #}, {4, time}"); // getting the pattern // of this MessageFormat Object // using toPattern() method String patt = mf.toPattern(); // display the result System.out.println("current pattern of MessageFormat Object : " + patt); }} |
Output:
current pattern of MessageFormat Object : {0, number, #}, {4, time}
