To get date time according to a specified format:

• #date.javaSimpleDateFormat# (refer to http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html for more formatting patterns)

For example: 

#date.h:mm a# // 12:08 PM
#date.EEE, d MMM yyyy h:mm:ss a# // Wed, 4 Jul 2009 12:08:56 PM
