Parse any date in Java

Question

I know this question is asked quite a bit, and obviously you can\'t parse any arbitrary date. However, I find that the python-dateutil library is able to parse every date I

Answer 1

I have no idea about this parsing how to do in python. In java we can do like this

SimpleDateFormat sdf1 = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
  java.util.Date normalDate = null;
  java.sql.Date sqlDate = null;
  normalDate = sdf1.parse(date);
  sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(normalDate.getTime());
  System.out.println(sqlDate);

i think like java some predefined functions will be there in python. You can follow this method. This methods parse the String date to Sql Date (dd-MM-yyyy);

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.text.ParseException;
public class HelloWorld{
     public static void main(String []args){
        String date ="26-12-2019";
         SimpleDateFormat sdf1 = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
        java.util.Date normalDate = null;
        java.sql.Date sqlDate = null;
        if( !date.isEmpty()) {
            try {
                normalDate = sdf1.parse(date);
                sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(normalDate.getTime());
                System.out.println(sqlDate);
            } catch (ParseException e) {
            }
        }
     }
} 

execute this!
