Read the specs for the parse method of the DateFormat class. If that won't help then you may have to do some manual splitting. Is that the only date you want to parse or are there many dates that you want to parse? Are all of them going to be in this format?

Hi
Thanks for replying... Am getting this date from the excel sheet using poi api. it returns date values in this format. Yes I have plenty dates all in the same format. I tried splitting it but it does'nt work .

Don't try to fiddle around with that splitting first.
Read this.
Then have a look at this code

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 String pattern = "EEE MMM dd yyyy";

    SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat(pattern);

    try {

        System.out.println(new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").format(df.parse("Sat Oct 25 2008")));
 
    }

    catch(ParseException e) {

        e.printStackTrace();

    }

You should be able to do the rest.
