Hi Folks



Formatting date/time is a very common task and having either the comment from Date >> printOn: format:  

"Print a description of the receiver on aStream using the format 

denoted the argument, formatArray:



#(item item item sep monthfmt yearfmt twoDigits)



items: 1=day 2=month 3=year will appear in the order given,



separated by sep which is eaither an ascii code or character.



monthFmt: 1=09 2=Sep 3=September



yearFmt: 1=1996 2=96



digits: (missing or)1=9 2=09.



in the Class comment  or pointer to the above information would shorten learning times for newbies like me.



Fwiw, I hit the Swiki, stack-exchange pharo discussion which led me to Terse guide example of a related method which then got me to the information I needed.




thx for your consideration.
