[Nisha Kala]

hi all,
can anyone tell how to convert string as-> Tue Nov 02 00:00:00 IST 2010 to date format of same type or to get date in ist format in java

The format already is giving you date if you want it in another format use Calendar class
If you want some thing like 22/5/2010 .
or anything else
The date is already in the IST form .
If you want some one to enter the string and than you want to format the part user entered
Use a method

I had told about SimpleDateFormat in my reply to other query. You can have a look at the API for SimpleDateFormat: http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html

Edit: Also the String which you are going to parse in to Date should be in the required format other wise it will throw ParseException. For example- You have a String in- 10-11-2010 format and then try to parse it to- Tue Nov 02 00:00:00 IST 2010 will result in an exception.
