SimpleDateFormat - Do you need to use RegEx?
===

I have the code below, which produces this:

    2012-07-28 17:30:23

Which is what I want. But if I want to extract all the numbers on their own to assign to variables, do I need to make a RegEx or is there some way to simply extract these from the SimpleDateFormat? 


	 SimpleDateFormat dateFormatUCT = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
	 dateFormatUCT.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UCT"));

	 //Time in UCT
	 String date = dateFormatUCT.format(new Date());
	 	 
	 System.out.println(date);
