How to change a date in one format to the other?

Question

Hi,
Say I have a String representing a date in the following format:
dd/MM/yyyy e.g. 12/03/2002
How can I convert this String to a String representing a date the following format:
ddMMyyyy e.g. 12032002
Without using the String class.
Thanks

Let's write some code here:
String f1="dd/MM/yyyy";
String f2="ddMMyyyy";
String d1="12/03/2002";
String d2=null;
You want d2 of format f2, given d1 with format f1 =>
SimpleDateFormat formatter1 = new SimpleDateFormat (f1);
SimpleDateFormat formatter2 = new SimpleDateFormat (f2);
ParsePosition pos = new ParsePosition(0);
java.util.Date dateTemp = formatter1.parse(d1, pos);
d2 = formatter2.format(dateTemp);
That should work.
