Unparsable date exception

Question

I\'m currently working on some simple project in Java and I have date in the following string:

String dateString = \"Sun 7/14 03:44 AM 2013\";
         


        

Answer 1

It is important to add Locale as you are parsing language day of week names.

String dateString = "Sun 7/14 03:44 AM 2013";
DateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE M/dd hh:mm a yyyy", Locale.US);
Date d = format.parse(dateString);
