Hi. I'm trying to parse Strings (such as 12/15/07) into a java.util.Date object. When I know the format ahead of time, this is not a difficult task because I can specify what type of format to be looking for.

Hi Bei, I noticed, this is your 100th post. So you're expected to open a bottle of wine. One of the classes you need is java.text.SimpleDateFormat (see Where your java is /Java/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html) The document also shows what letter means what (e.g. that big M meand month and small m means minute) An example: public class Main { public static void main(String[] ... |
Hi, I want to parse a RFC 2822 formated string into Date object. The deprecated Date constructor can do this. However since this is deprecated I'd rather use SimpleDateFormat, which doesn't work.

Yes - what does the .00Z represent? Hundredths of a second, plus Z for Zulu time? The Z is easy to handle if it's a constant. You need to put single quotes around it so it's not interpreted as a format code, since Z means RFC 822 time zone. Hundredths of a second is harder, since that's not represented by any ... |

This is one way to ensure your format is correct. Error checking needs to be done earlier, i.e. if the textfield = "" or if the dates are going to be invalid e.g. 20030231, or 20031525. I've substituted strings for textfields - just add in where necessary textfield.gettext() class testing { public static void main(String args[]) { String tfYYYY = "2003"; ... |
The correct format for the input depends on your locale. The default for the US locale looks like "Jan 1, 2003" so you might try that first. If you're located someplace else, your JDK (or OS) installation might not be set up for your actual locale, so you might try, e.g. DateFormat.getDateInstance(Locale.UK) to set the locale explicitly. |

Both Date and Calendar represent real dates, that is, a point in time having a year, month, day and so on. I don't think you can use either class to get a difference (i.e. dateInstance1 - dateInstance2 = elapsedTime). If you look at the documentation for java.util.Calendar, you'll see that when not set, its fields default to certain values in order ... |

Is this ... |
The parse() method takes a string, in a particular format and gets you a date object. This date object doesn't retain this format, it is merely a representation of the date. If you want to print in a particular format, either (1) use the original string, or (2) generate a new string with the format() method. Henry |

I don't know why this happens but when I attempt to parse certain dates they are not parsed correctly.

The codes you use to specify the date format when you create a SimpleDateFormat object are case-sensitive. So "DD-MM-YYYY HH:MM:SS" doesn't mean what you think it means. Lookup the documentation for SimpleDateFormat for information on how to specify the format. Also, the "MM" you use for the months is not going to match three-letter month abbreviations like "Dec". |
Imre Tokai wrote:Is there any way to determine format of the date from the String? Well, sure. You look at it. It starts with "Wed", that's a day of the week. Then it carries on with "Apr", that's the name of a month. Then it has "21", which is almost certainly a day of the month, although it might ... |

It works for me, assuming: 1. You enclose the date string in double quotes. Otherwise, it won't compile. 2. Take out the colon between the date and time. Otherwise, it won't parse. 3. Use doj.getDay() not doj.getday(). Again, it won't compile otherwise. That returns 6, which means that the date is on a Saturday. Also that's a deprecated call. The new ... |

Maybe that's because you made it silently catch parse exceptions. You should always log the errors that your program throws. It's kind of rude to ask for help if you're not doing so; it means that you're asking others to help you before you've done the due diligence of checking everything you can by yourself first. |
try making the date just one big string, and split it using strName.split("-"). that way you have your separated dates that way. edit: if you have the big string like that, and also need to filter out the time, you could do a split(":") on the last array component you have from the previous split. The first entry in that second ... |

If you have some weird set of rules about how numbers should be interpreted, but the basic format is always the same (eg the order of the day, year, and month, or using slashes as opposed to hyphens), then I'd suggest using java.util.SimpleDateFormat to initially parse the date, and then create a java.util.Calendar object from the resulting Date, and then apply ... |

99. date parse forums.oracle.comI'm going to whip out my crystal ball and guess that your next comment is going to be, "But I want the Date object to be in the MM/dd/yyyy format." If that is in fact where you're going with this, you need to know that Date objects don't have a format. They're just wrapper around a long. |
Would it be too much to ask for you to show us one of the strings which causes the exception to be thrown? After all, the exception is supposed to be thrown because the format of the string doesn't match the required format, so looking at the input data should be the first thing you should do. |
