I am trying to convert a String like "05/30/2012" to a Date as same like "05/30/2012" and im using these codes.

Java
DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
Date d1=formatter.parse("05/30/2012");
System.out.println(d1);


But these codes compile result is :
"Wed May 30 00:00:00 EEST 2012"
I need "05/30/2012".Thanks for any help.

Note: Guys iam trying to convert String to Date.I have a Date column in Database.I dont want to change it's format.I just want 05/30/2012 in my database but as a Date class not a String

Please refer following CP Article:
Formatting a DateTime for display - format string description[^]

also refer DateTime.Parse Method (String)[^]

or else
You can parse user input like this:
C#
DateTime enteredDate = DateTime.Parse(enteredString);

If you have a specific format for the string, you should use the other method:
C#
DateTime loadedDate = DateTime.ParseExact(loadedString, "d", null);

"d" stands for the short date pattern (see MSDN[^] for more info) and null specifies that the current culture should be used for parsing the string.

[EDIT]
For Java:
Please refer following threads:
Convert String to Date[^]
JavaScript Date Format[^]
JavaScript Data Object Examples: Javascript Convert String to Date[^]

Have a look on this Similar discussion[^]

Hope it helps!

please see updated answer..

The problem lies in the OP's use of println not in the date parsing - it is parsed correctly but printed in the console in a format he doesn't like. You need to provide links to Date to String conversion for OP to get the answer to his real problem. My 4+ anyway...
