How to split date and time from a datetime string?

Question

I have a string like 8/29/2011 11:16:12 AM. I want to split that string into separate variables like

date = 8/29/2011
time = 11:16:12 AM
         


        

Answer 1

You can do it by splitting your string into two substrings, as follows

String main = "8/29/2011 11:16:12 AM";
String s[] = main.split(" ",2);
String date = s[0];
String time = s[1];

NOTE: The split method will split the string into two parts as mentioned in the second argument.
