Hi anzar naik,

Try this,

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-YYYY");

Date beforeDate=null;

beforeDate=sdf.parse(Your_Date);

Hope it will help you. Thanks.

Hi,

you can try this way...

SimpleDateFormat dateFormat;

dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy"); //format can be dd-MM-yy or dd-MM-yyyy also

String strformatteddate=dateFormat.format(Your Date to be formatted);

but it returns date in string format...

you could try something like this

public class ChangeData

{

public static void main(String args[])

{

String initDate = "yyyy-mm-dd";

String newDate = "";

String a,b,c;

a = initDate.substring(initDate.lastIndexOf("-")+1);

b = initDate.substring(0,initDate.indexOf("-"));

c = initDate.substring(initDate.indexOf("-")+1,initDate.lastIndexOf("-"));

newDate = a"-"c"-"b;

System.out.println(newDate);

}

}//dd-mmm-yyyy

now do note that this code will only work if the input is always in the form of "yyyy-mm-dd"

Thanks,
