Hi Folks,

How to convert a String "Wed Oct 15 00:00:00 GMT+05:30 2008" to Date [by using format or any other way ] ?. i tried using SimpleDateFormat but failed

Then you haven't used the right pattern. Which one did you use?

Sorry for the late reply

this is my code:

    

String str = "Wed Oct 15 00:00:00 GMT+05:30 2008";
			SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, MMM dd HH:mm:ss yyyy z");
			//sdf.applyPattern("EEE, MMM dd HH:mm:ss yyyy z");
			Date dt = sdf.parse(str);
			System.out.println(dt);

the Exception is : java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "Wed Oct 15 00:00:00 GMT+05:30 2008"

thanks
