Why Java SimpleDateFormat().parse() is giving weird formate?
- by MAK
My input is String formated as the following:
3/4/2010 10:40:01 AM
3/4/2010 10:38:31 AM
My code is:
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss aa");
try
{
Date today = dateFormat.parse(time);
System.out.println("Date Time : " + today);
}
catch (ParseException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
the output is:
Sun Jan 03 10:38:31 AST 2010
Sun Jan 03 10:40:01 AST 2010
I'm not sure from where the day (Sun) came from? or (AST)? and why the date is wrong? I just wanted to keep the same format of the original String date and make it into a Date object.
I'm using Netbeans 6.8 Mac version.
