Question

I need to obtain a Date object from this String:This is a example)

M-27\nJUN-2012  DayOfWeek-dd\nMONTH-yyyy

Its impossible? I dont know how to use simpledateformat for this..The \n is a line jump.

Answer 1

Try following SimpleDateFormat:

String dateS = "M-27\nJUN-2012";  // your date string
SimpleDateFormat fmt = new SimpleDateFormat("dd\nMMM-yyyy"); // formatter
Date date = fmt.parse(dateS.substring(2));
System.out.println(date);

You can really drop out the day of week, because day, month and year defines this day.
