Date Conversion

Posted by Monte Gardner on June 21, 2001 at 2:32 PM

You can't do it with the Date class. You can't do much of
anything with the Date class. What you want to do is take the
source string, and create a Java.Util.GregorianCalendar out
of it. Then, use the Java.text.SimpleDateFormat class to
convert that GregorianCalendar object into a String in the
format that you want. I did a big project recently with
the time and Calendar classes, so If you want more help,
just send me an e-mail at mgg@asu.edu.
