How to convert Date.toString back to Date

[Tay Thotheolh]

Hi. I used the following codes below:

java.util.Date today = new java.util.Date();  //Getting current Data/Time
         String currentDT = today.toString();
         System.out.println(currentDT);

It's output is "Sun Mar 07 15:08:18 GMT 2010".

How do I convert this toString() output into a java.util.Date object ?

Have you taken a look at
java.text.SimpleDateFormat

When ever you have a difficulty regarding dates, go through the api of java.util.Date, java.util.Calendar, java.text.SimpleDateFormat . I am sure you will find a way.
