Unparseable date

[newbiejava]

Hello All,

I need to convert string to date format (yyyy-MM-dd)
but it gives me java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date "24-Jul-07"

what I missed?

String str_date="24-July-07";
DateFormat formatter ;
Date date ;
formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
date = (Date)formatter.parse(str_date);

Your date is in another format: dd-MMM-yy but your DateFormat object expects a date in the format yyyy-MM-dd.

Date should be in numeric as your formatted string.

Sure, use two DataFormat objects; one to parse a String in one format and the other one to produce a String in the other format.
