You can find code samples at the URL I posted in my other reply:

Hope that helps.

public class DateTest
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String dateOfBirth = "1974-31-12";
SimpleDateFormat dFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd");

try {
Date birthday = dFormat.parse(dateOfBirth);
System.out.println(birthday);

System.out.println(dFormat.format(birthday));
}
catch(ParseException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}

}
}

I answer to anything beginning with R.  In person, people rarely get
my name right. it comes out Rod, Roddy, Rudy.

If you are interested in hearing how I say it, see

Just curious. Which other languages did you learn, in which
sequence?

Hmm. Fortran II on the IBM 1620 when I was 15 years old a sort of
child astronaut allowed in with the guys in the white coats behind the
locked doors (it was indescribably exciting),  assembler for the IBM
7044, Algol 60, Act-V, assembler for the LGP-30, Algol-68, PL-1,
COBOL, Pascal, assemblers for many machines,  MINC Basic, APL, Forth,
Abundance, C, C++, Java.  I played around with many more. I worked for
a while at UBC on differential equations. One of the perks was a
library card to the computer science library where there were hundreds
of books on obscure languages.  I was in heaven.

Forth was the most fun. Abundance is the most productive.  Eiffel was
the most beautiful.  Java is what I am mostly using now. Bali is what
I hope to be coding in some day.
