Hi Dude,

Its very easy to convert the String into date format. There is a class SimpleDateFormat which already available in the JDK which you can use for converting the String representation of date into real Date object.

You can use the following code:

  formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy");
  date = (Date)formatter.parse(str_date);

The parse() method of the SimpleDateFormat class returns the date object.
