convert "01-Apr-08.12:38:04" to Date object

[mike]

Hi,

How can I convert this:

String time = "01-Apr-08.12:38:04";

SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy'.'hh:mm:ss ");

try {
Date date = dateFormat.parse(time);
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();

}

I get the following:

java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "01-Apr-08.12:38:04"
at java.text.DateFormat.parse(DateFormat.java:337)


Any ideas on how I can work around this?

As you've constructed it, `dateFormat' requires a trailing space,
but `time' doesn't have one.

Also, I'm not too sure that using "hh" without an AM/PM indicator
is a good idea. It's possible that parse() objects to the ambiguity.

Hi,

yes I unintentionally added a space at the end and of course I should use HH.

Thanks alot.
