Hi,

Could you show me how to use DateFormat parse() method to parse a date
"January 1, 2004". A small example is all I need.

Thank you very much.

See lots of listed under "Examples" at:

But how about "MMMMMMM dd, yyyy"?

What I want is not to format a date into "MMMMMMM dd, yyyy". The
"input" is a string
such as "January 1, 2004" or "July 12, 2004", I need a Date object as
an "output". I looked at the link, but I could not find an example of
doing this. Thank you.

You didn't look hard enough. hint, look for the "parse" function of
SimpleDateFormat.

awww hell... I'll just tell you.

String dateString = "January 1, 2004";
String dateFormatString = "MMMMMMM dd, yyyy";

SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat(dateFormatString);

Date newDate = format.parse(dateString);

DateFormat eg.

Here is a simple eg:

DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sTZD");
String sDate = df.format(date);
Date newDate = df.parse(sDate);

but i have a problem here, newDate again not in the format passed.

Thanks
