Use the last parameter to determine thr portion of the StringBuffer
you are interested in.  Here is a brief example:

    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
    char buf[] = new char[50];
    FieldPosition fp = new
FieldPosition(DateFormat.DAY_OF_WEEK_FIELD);

    DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.FULL, new
Locale("ES", "es"));
    df.format(new Date(), sb, fp);

    sb.getChars(fp.getBeginIndex(),fp.getEndIndex(), buf, 0);
    String day_of_week = new String(buf, 0, fp.getEndIndex() -
fp.getBeginIndex());
