I am getting parse exception while I am trying to format the follwing date " 02:09:07 Jan 26, 2002 PST " using java.text.DateFormat and SimpleFormat class.
I want convert this string to Java.util.Date object. How do I convert that as Date object.
If there is still some option in either of the above classes please tell me in detail( Sample code might help).
Thanks in Advance

hmm, can't be first post anymore :(
anyhow, i tryed to create some code and here's what i came up withimport java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
public class SDF {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss MMM d, yyyy z");
System.out.println(sdf.format(new Date()));
System.out.println(sdf.parse(args[0],
new java.text.ParsePosition(0)));
}
}
you just compile it javac SDF.java and run it java SDF "09:09:23 Jaan 12, 2002 EET" (or whatever argument works for you)
anyhow, it prints out current date, so you can see how it formats date according to that format string....
i notieced that in my countri this MMM is shown as Jaan, Veebr, ... so, that's why i got null most of times while i tryed to use string that you had...
oh, and that java.text.ParsePosition was necessary as well...
