<timestamp>

A <timestamp> must have one of the Java-recognized formats for date and time strings.

  • Date formats are interpreted with the local date formatting conventions (for example, 3/11/06 is interpreted as March 11, 2006 in the United States.)
  • Seconds are optional (for example, 1:32 and 1:32:00 are identical).
  • The AM/PM indicator is required.
  • The time zone indicator is optional; if omitted, the local time zone is assumed.
  • The day of week, if provided, is ignored.

Examples

"3/11/13 1:32 PM"
"Mar 11, 2013 1:32:38 PM"
"March 11, 2013 1:32:38 PM PST"
"Saturday, March 13, 2013 1:32:38 PM PST"
