Java 8 date-time parsing with optional 2-4 year components [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:




  • Java 8 DateTimeFormatter two digit year 18 parsed to 0018 instead of 2018?

    2 answers




I would like to parse LocalDate objects from various date strings. All strings already have the format dd-MM-yy or dd-MM-yyyy. In the first case the base year should be prepended with 19 instead of 20.



I have this code but I can't get it working. What am I doing wrong?



        public static LocalDate parseDateString(String date) {
DateTimeFormatter optionalFullYearParser = java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("[dd-MM-yy][dd-MM-yyyy]");
DateTimeFormatter parser = new DateTimeFormatterBuilder()
.appendOptional(optionalFullYearParser)
.appendValueReduced(ChronoField.YEAR, 2, 4, 1900)
.toFormatter(new Locale ("nl","NL"));

return java.time.LocalDate.parse(date,parser);
}

System.out.println(parseDateString("11-10-56").toString());
System.out.println(parseDateString("11-10-1956").toString());
System.out.println(parseDateString("08-05-51").toString());


When I run this code it throws an Exception:




java.time.format.DateTimeParseException: Text '11-10-56' could not be parsed at index 8
...




Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    You’re over-complicating it. See how simple it is in my answer to the linked original question. The trick is to have yyyy before yy, or it will parse the first two of the four digits as a two digit year and then get stuck.

There is no need for 2 formatter objects to do this, and you shouldn't include the year part in the pattern text when you then use appendValueReduced to add the year part.



public static LocalDate parseDateString(String date) {
DateTimeFormatter parser = new DateTimeFormatterBuilder()
.appendPattern("dd-MM-")
.appendValueReduced(ChronoField.YEAR, 2, 4, 1900)
.toFormatter(Locale.forLanguageTag("nl-NL"));
return java.time.LocalDate.parse(date, parser);
}


Test



System.out.println(parseDateString("11-10-56").toString());
System.out.println(parseDateString("11-10-1956").toString());
System.out.println(parseDateString("08-05-51").toString());


Output



1956-10-11
1956-10-11
1951-05-08
