Re: Writing date and time in a log file in java

You could look at or use the code below. You can just pass the message
to the function. The three functions you can use are:

1 - Write messages to console only
     setLogToConsole(String inTarget)
2 - Write messages to log file only
     setLogToFile(String inTarget)
3 - Write messages to console and log file
     setLog(String inTarget)

import java.io.BufferedWriter;
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.TimeZone;

public class JAppLog {
public String getLogDate() {
     Object formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyMMddkk:mm:ss:SSS(z)");
     return (((DateFormat) formatter).format(new Date()).toString() + ": ");
}
public String getLogFileName() {
     Object formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyMMdd");
     return (((DateFormat) formatter).format(new Date()).toString() +
".log");
}
public void setLog(String inTarget)
{
     System.out.println(getLogDate()+inTarget);
     setLogToFile(inTarget);
}
public void setLogToConsole(String inTarget) {
     System.out.println(getLogDate()+inTarget);
}
public void setLogToFile(String inTarget) {
     try {
         BufferedWriter out =
         new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(getLogFileName(),
         true));
         out.write(getLogDate()+inTarget+"\n");
         out.close();
     } catch (IOException e) {
         JAppError.errorMessage(e);
     }
}
}
