Unparseable date exception....!!!!

[Nina Anderson]

Hi,

I'm getting the following exception when I try to parse a string date and I don't know what I'm doing wrong:

Unparseable date: "Mon Aug 20 18:30:00 PDT 2007"

Here's my source code:

public String getTime(String dt)
{
....

DateFormat datafmt = new SimpleDateFormat("h:mm a");
Date date = datefmt.parse(dt);

//textTime = DateFormat.getTimeInstance(DateFormat.SHORT).format(date);

....


}

Thanks in Advance!

Your string is "Mon Aug 20 18:30:00 PDT 2007", but your format only allows an hour, minute and AM/PM. If the string was "1:30 PM" it would have been ok.

You either have to change the input string or the format.

THaNks!!!

DateFormat datefmt = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM d HH:mm:ss z yyyy");

I changed the format and it work!!!
