[vwnc] formatted print of time and date

Hi,

what is the best way to print times and dates in a custom format? For example I want to print times like "hh:mm" or "hh-mm 'o clock". I looked at TimestampPrintPolicy but could not get the desired results.

Btw, the method PrintPolicy>>printShort:on: requires a stream as first argument and the object as second. Personally I've got the feeling, that the selecter suggests it to be vice versa as in PrintPolicy>>printLong:on:

Ciao, Steffen

TimestampPrintPolicy can do the work.

(TimestampPrintPolicy
print: Time now
using: 'hh-mm') , ' ''o clock'

If you look more closely at TimestampPrintPolicy you will
see you can create your own policy of format tokens.
Look at TimestampPrintPolicy class>>nextTokenOn: and
TimestampPrintPolicy>>print:on:using: and study their usage.
