Trasnform current date to format MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss AM/PM

Question

Hi All,
How do I transform current date to format MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss AM/PM?
I am able to get the format MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss by using the standard date function. How do I get AM or PM to end of MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss??
Thanx
Navin

Hi Navin,
How AM/PM is added? In the sample values given its in 24 hrs notation. Are u sure you want to add AM/PM to this notation? or U want to change this 24 hrs notation into 12 hrs and add AM/PM?
For converting into 12 hrs and appending AM/PM you can use this code:
input a:
int hr = Integer.parseInt(a.substring(11,13));
String appendVal = "AM";
if(hr > 12){
   hr = hr - 12;
   appendVal = "PM";
} else if(hr == 12){
   appendVal = "PM";
} else if(hr == 00){
   hr = hr + 12;
Sting finalVal = a.substring(0,11) + String.ValueOf(hr) + a.substring(13,a.length()) + appendVal;
return finalVal;
