Parsing of string to Date Object

Question

I have string "Tue Nov 12 2010",I want to parse it in java.util.Date object. I write below code for this

DateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
Date date= format.parse("Tue Nov 12 2010");

It is giving exception like below:

java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "Sun Nov 21 2010"

Not getting what is wrong with it???

Answer 1

Your format is wrong - if you specify a format dd/MM/yyyy, then you need to supply the string to be formatted in the corresponding format (!) e.g. 21/11/2010.
