Question

Hi,
Thanks for everyones help so far. But the code is still giving me error.
My code is as follows but is still giving error.
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" language="java" import="java.util.Date,java.sql.*,java.text.*" errorPage="" %>
<%
DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance();
String s1="01/01/2003";
String s2 = "01/03/2003";
try {
java.util.Date d1 = df.parse(s1);
java.util.Date d2 = df.parse(s2);
long a = d1.getTime();
long b = d2.getTime();
out.print(b-a);
catch (java.text.ParseException pe) {
out.print(pe.getMessage());
%>
It gives the following error :
Unparseable date: "01/01/03"
Thank you.

You can do this,
<%
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
String s1="01/01/2003";
String s2 = "01/03/2003";
try {
java.util.Date d1 = df.parse(s1);
java.util.Date d2 = df.parse(s2);
long a = d1.getTime();
long b = d2.getTime();
out.print(b-a);
catch (java.text.ParseException pe) {
out.print(pe.getMessage());
%>
