Issues with timestamp conversion

Here is my code in Java 1.6 (question was marked duplicate but suggested solution refers to java 1.8)

public static void main(String[] args){
    try{
        String dateTimeString = "2015-08-10-14.20.40.679279";
        DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd-HH.mm.ss.SSSSSS");
        java.util.Date formattedDate = dateFormat.parse(dateTimeString);
        Timestamp formattedTime = new Timestamp(formattedDate.getTime());
        System.out.println(formattedTime);
    } catch (Throwable t){
        t.printStackTrace();
    }
}

The resulted object is: 2015-08-10 14:31:59.279, so clearly something is wrong while parsing minutes, seconds and millis, I just don't know what exactly.
Thank you!

Solution

  • There is no something like SSSSSS. Check Simple Date Format manual
