Question

I am unable to covert String values in The Java.util Date format.

This is my code

String string = "24-Nov-2012 14:21:56";
Date soldate = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss zzz").parse(string); // problem in this line
System.out.println(soldate);

Please help me to solve this issue.

Answer 1

new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss zzz")

You don’t have that zzz - TimeZone part in your string. So, your format cannot parse your string. As it is different from the actual string format.

Just remove it: –

new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss");
