Java : Parsing Date String using SimpleDateFormat

My date string is like this dd.MM.yyyy-HH.mm.ss . I am doing following:

String s_date= "13.06.2012-12.12.12"
Date d_date = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.YYYY-HH.mm.ss", Locale.ENGLISH).parse(s_date);

But it is throwing Unparseable date: "13.06.2012-12.12.12" Exception.

How can I make it work for the given date-time format ?

do like this.

String d=new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy").format(date);
System.out.println(d);

You are using capital Y.
Try:

Date d_date = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy-HH.mm.ss", Locale.ENGLISH).parse(s_date);

String s_date= ""13.06.2012-12.12.12";

this is wrong

use String s_date= "13.06.2012-12.12.12";

String s_date= "13.06.2012-12.12.12" doesn't fit your pattern dd.MM.YYYY. You should remove the part after the - if you want date without hours:

s_date = s_date.substring(0, s_date.indexOf('-'));

or change your pattern as Michał said.

You should add time as well:

 new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.YYYY-HH.mm.ss", Locale.ENGLISH)
