>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Interpolation
>    Affects Versions: 2.6
>         Environment: Java 1.8.0_144,
> Windows 10/Linux
>            Reporter: Ning Zhang

> When default date lookup is like: *${date:yyyyMM}/${date:ddHHmmss}*
> It will encounter one exception like:
> _java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal pattern character 't'_
> But if change date lookup format to : /*${date:yyyyMM}/${date:ddHHmmss}*
> There will be not such issue anymore.
> After investigation, found it is caused by _interpolate_ method in _ConfigurationInterpolator.java_.
> For the input date lookup format, it is will be taken as single variable via _looksLikeSingleVariable_,
> so default date lookup will try to format the date directly then throw one exception.
> Attached patch is trying to catch the exception then return null, substitutor will continue to work.
