Full Question: Parsing Date/Time using SimpleDateFormat (or other)
|

Sorry, hit 'post' instead of 'preview'. Here is the full question.
Hi,
I am having trouble parsing a Date/Time String into a Date object. It is no trouble to parse a date string, or to parse a date/time string with a parser that ignores the time portion, but when using a parser that should pick up the time portion, I get a ParseException.
Works:
try{
//SimpleDateFormat simp = new SimpleDateFormat ("MM/dd/YYYY hh:mm:ss a");
SimpleDateFormat parse = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a");
String dateTime = "7/10/1996 4:50:00 PM";
Date parsed = parse.parse(dateTime);
System.out.println("formatted: " + formatter.format(parsed));
}
catch(ParseException e){
System.out.println("Caught " + e);
}
Doesn't work:
try{
SimpleDateFormat parse = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/YYYY hh:mm:ss a");
//SimpleDateFormat parse = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a");
String dateTime = "7/10/1996 4:50:00 PM";
Date parsed = parse.parse(dateTime);
System.out.println("formatted: " + formatter.format(parsed));
}
catch(ParseException e){
System.out.println("Caught " + e);
}
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mike
