Hi,
I have a
string for date
pattern called dPattern which is of the form ""mm/dd/yyyy"(dPattern = ""mm/dd/yyyy").I use this pattern to make the SimpleDateFormat class as
SimpleDateFormat sd = new SimpleDateFormat(dPattern);
I take a String of the form ,say ex:
ateStr = "09/12/2001";
Date dt = sd.parse(dateStr, new ParsePosition(0));
The date dt when turned as a String gives me a strange Date as Jan 2001.
Also, if I use it in the Gregorian Calendar to set the time and access the month, the month comes out as January.
Can you pl explain me the reason and also, tell me how to do it right??
Here is the total code::
dPattern = ""mm/dd/yyyy"
SimpleDateFormat sd = new SimpleDateFormat(dPattern);
Date dt = sd.parse(dateStr, new ParsePosition(0));
System.out.println(dt.toString());
Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar();
calendar.setTime(dt);
int month = calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1;
Thanks in advance,
Madhu
