Problem with date formatting

[sahana mithra]

Dear all,
My system reboot time which is like 20111205105400.375199+330 must be formatted like 05/12/2011 10:54:00 AM IST.
Here is what i have tried

newrebootTime = rebootTime.substring(0, rebootTime.indexOf(".")); // this prints 20111205105400
final SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy h:mm:ss a z");
try{
Date d = sdf.parse(newrebootTime);
                            System.out.println(d);
}catch(Execption e)(
System.out.println("error: " + e);;
}

I get the following exception:
error: java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "20111205105400"

Please help me to overcome this.
Thank you all.

You have to use one format to convert the input String to date and another to show the converted date as desired.

String inputDate = "20111205105400";  
final SimpleDateFormat inputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddhhmmss");
final SimpleDateFormat outputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy h:mm:ss a");
try{
	Date d = inputFormat.parse(inputDate);
	System.out.println(outputFormat.format(d));
}catch(Exception e){
	System.out.println("error: " + e);
}
