    Default How to convert date to different format

    Hi,
    Could somebody tell me how I can convert date that I am reading from txt file to a different format for example from 'DD,MM,YYYY HH:MM:SS' to 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS' in my new CSV file. This is part of my code only to give an idea what I am trying:

    public void writeToTXT(BufferedWriter writer) throws IOException {
    writer.write(writeCSV(datetime) + columnDelimiter);
    writer.write(writeCSV(name) + columnDelimiter);
    writer.write(writeCSV(surname) + columnDelimiter);
    writer.newLine();
    }

    Thanks in advance

    Hi
    Thanks for the reply. I tried to use the SimpleDateFormat but this is still not working for me. Could somebody suggest how to make this line converting my date to the right format
    writer.write(writeCSV(new SimpleDateFormat("DD-MM-YYYY 00:00:00").format(datetime)) + columnDelimiter);

    Thanks
