In java, how to write this date format?
Dec 17 2011 07:37:55:000PM
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("M W yyyy hh:mm:ss:SSSa"); // failed
I tried this format, it doesn't work.
Please help, thanks.
I think you just need to expand your Month format to 3 M's and the days char is d not W.
new SimpleDateFormat("MMM dd yyyy hh:mm:ss:SSSa");
