Question
I am working with the following date format:
| Code Block |
|---|
def targetTimestamp = api.targetDate()?.format("yyyy-MM-dd") + 'T' + (new Date()).format("HH:mm:ss") |
How can I subtract or add 5 minutes?
Cheers,
Jochen

Answer
You can use the Calendar instance to add/subtract part of the date.
| Code Block |
|---|
def cal = Calendar.getInstance()
cal.add(Calendar.MINUTE, -5)
def targetTimestamp = api.targetDate()?.format("yyyy-MM-dd") + 'T' + (cal).format("HH:mm:ss") |
Or another option is:
| Code Block |
|---|
def dt = new DateTime(api.targetDate())
return dt.plusMinutes(5) |
Note that api.targetDate() gets you the time midnight (basically the day part only).
The DateTime object is of type org.joda.time.DateTime.
