[Pooja Agarwal]

Hai All,

I have got a problem in converting the format of string.
I have a string readydate = "2004-02-24 07:15:00"
i have to convert this string to '24-feb-04'.
can any one plz let me know how to do this.

string readydate = "2004-02-24 07:15:00"
required o/p "24-feb-04".
The o/p should also be in string as this need to be inserted into Oracle db.

Any help would be Appreciated,

Hi there Pooja -

Here's some test code that I used to do what I think you want to do. My solution was to use a couple of java.text.SimpleDateFormat objects.

Take care,

import java.text.*;
import java.util.Date;
 
public class Test {
 
public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException {
    DateFormat f1 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
    DateFormat f2 = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy");
      
    Date date = f1.parse("2004-02-24 07:15:00");
    
    System.out.println(f2.format(date));
}
 
}
