java - Parse nano seconds with less than 6 digits -

i have timestamp 2017-07-25 16:19:59.89384

i want parse with:

datetimeformatter formatter = datetimeformatter.ofpattern("yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.ssssss"); localdate time = localdatetime.parse(timestamp, formatter); 

but datetimeparseexception because nano seconds 5 digits. there cleaner solution padding 0's right?

if input always has 5 digits in nanoseconds, can use 5 s letters instead of six:

string timestamp = "2017-07-25 16:19:59.89384"; datetimeformatter formatter = datetimeformatter.ofpattern("yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.sssss"); // 5 "s" localdatetime datetime = localdatetime.parse(timestamp, formatter); 

also note localdatetime.parse returns localdatetime (not localdate in code).

---

if don't know how many digits in input, can use java.time.format.datetimeformatterbuilder java.time.temporal.chronofield , define minimum , maximum number of digits:

datetimeformatter formatter = new datetimeformatterbuilder()     // date / time     .appendpattern("yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss")     // nanoseconds, minimum 1 , maximum 9 digits , decimal point     .appendfraction(chronofield.nano_of_second, 1, 9, true)     // create formatter     .toformatter(); localdatetime datetime = localdatetime.parse(timestamp, formatter); 

you need adjust values 1 , 9 according needs.
