Convert date with ordinal numbers (11th, 22nd, etc.)

Question

How to convert a date having the following format

September 22nd 2015, 10:39:42 am

to

09/22/2015 10:39:42

Answer 1

You need 2 date formats (and essentially you need 2 steps to perform the task) :

1. Parsing the date September 22nd 2015, 10:39:42 am using a relevant date format string in order to get/convert it to date object
2. Formatting the date object for your desired dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss format to get the date output.

I am leaving the implementation details for you to learn and explore.
