I need today's date in 030213 Format. And today's Day.

Question

Hi,
Is there a Date method that would yield ==> 030213 as
a string for today? Also today's Day, as in
Thursday.
How would I use it ? String dat = Date.xxmethod() ?
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you, I tried the fix in the "import .... SimpleText..." and it works.
I had to fix the "instantiation -- new " line too. The following codes
compiled successfully and also works.

code that into the program. So, I can say System.out.println(day) ,
which will yield ===> Friday ( or 5 ). Thanks for any help,... and

kdate.java <--- works so far, without Day return yet.
