Question

Im having a String array in my constructor which is supposed to read a line in a .txt document by using a bufferedreader. It is containing Strings int´s and two dates. My structure looks like this:

Private String Name;
Private int Number;
Private Date BDate;

String[] splitsarray = line.split("%");     
this.Name= splitsarray [0];  
this.Number= Integer.parseInt(splitsarray [1]);

I wan’t to do someting like this.BDate= splitsarray [2] but i can’t figuer out how to make it work.

Any hints or tips for me?

Answer 1

Pass the right date pattern in the SimpleDateFormat constructor argument.

SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy"); 
this.BDate = formatter.parse(splitsarray [2]);
