Converting Time in String form to a Long

Hello,

Does anyone now how to access the setTimeInMillis method of the Calendar
Interface.
I have a time in the format of HH:MM:SS: which is a string, but I want to
convert it to a long, so I can compare the times to figure out of two times
how far greater or lesser one is.

Thanks,

Sorry, I meant from the the java.util.Calendar class.

Use SimpleDateFormat and do getTime() on the Date object you get when
you parse.
