converting String into Date Format

[sailee phalak]

Hi PPL,

I am having some problem in java code.

I am getting one string in particular format like "20051010 102533"
this string is in "yyyymmdd HHmmss" format .

now i want this string to convert this Date object.

i am using following approch but it is not giving me expected output.

String dateTemp="20051010 102533";
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyymmdd HHmmss");
                        Date dateNew = dateFormat.parse(dateTemp);
 

now i am getting something like TUE 25 JUNE 10:25:33 IST etc ... where as i want the date in following format like "20051010 102533 " .

Is it possible ???

thanks

Your input, and required output are the same format?

When accessing the Date object it prints in the standard format only. So, if you want it in a specified format convert into String.
