convert string into date format in java

Question

I want to convert this string to the following date format.

  String s = \"2-26-2013\";
  Date date = new SimpleDateFormat(\"EEEE, MMMM/dd/yyyy\").parse(s);
  Sy         


        

Answer 1

Date date = new SimpleDateFormat("MM-dd-yyyy").parse(s);

The argument to SimpleDateFormat defines the format your date it in. The above line matches your format, and works. Your example does not match.
