ClipBoard Date format

[Mini Pilla]

Hi all,
I have Oct 29,2002 as date in one of the cells in Jtable.
I wrote a code to copy that date.(Jpopup right click menu)
When i try to paste the date it changes its format to 2002-10-28.
ANy ideas..to preserve the date format.
I showing my code here!!
for (int i=0;i<numrows;i++)
{
for (int j=0;j<numcols;j++)
{

sbf.append(table.getValueAt(rowsselected[i],colsselected[j]));
///in getvalue() method i don't know what is the format because it coming from another program

table.setValueAt("",rowsselected[i],colsselected[j]);

if (j<numcols-1) sbf.append("\t");
}
sbf.append("\n");
}

To preserve the date format, you'll have to save the data in the table as a String instead of a Date... but then you'll have to convert it back to a Date before you can use it again as a Date.
