Date conversion

[former_member223432]

Hi,

I have scenario where i am using the below Logic to convert the date from dd-mm-yy to this format dd-MMM-yy

DateFormat df1 = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-mm-yy");
DateFormat df2 = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy");
String convertedDate = "";

try{
  convertedDate = df2.format(df1.parse(currentDate));
}catch(Exception ex){}

return convertedDate;

but as an output i am always getting MMM as JAN...

is there anything wrong in the logic written

regards

Hi Smith ,

                  Try this code

DateFormat df1 = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yy");
DateFormat df2 = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy");
String convertedDate = "";

try{
  convertedDate = df2.format(df1.parse(currentDate));
}catch(Exception ex){}

return convertedDate;

Regards

Anupam is right.  The main flaw in your coding is you are using mm which refers minutes not Months. In java date format we need to use MM for month.
