convert string into java.util.date format in java

Question

am having a string like this.

Thu Oct 07 11:31:50 IST 2010

I want to convert this into its exact date time format to store it in SQL.

Answer 1

Use this format -'EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss z yyyy'

Date date = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss z yyyy")
                      .parse("Thu Oct 07 11:31:50 IST 2010");
System.out.println(date);
