System Time

(I tried searching for an existing thread on this topic but I kept getting a blank screen or a Bytes database error.... )

How do I access system time? I am playing around with the SimpleDateFormat class and want to utilise the current time. (I know in Excel it would be =now() but this is Java!)

Thanks in advance,

Nick

Have a look at the static method System.currentTimeMillis(). It gives you the current time since midnight January 1st, 1970, measured in ms.

kind regards,
