Parse a String to Date in Java -

I am trying to parse a string on a date, I have it:

 Code> Simple Data Format SDF = New Simple Format ("EEE MMM DD Yay HH: MM: SSZZZ"); Date = new date (); Try {date = sdf.parse (time); } Hold (ParseException e) {e.printStackTrace (); }   
 The string to pars is:  
  Sun Jul 15 2012 12:22:00 GMT + 0300 (FLE Daylight Time)   
 I followed it  
 I am sure that I have done everything from the book. But it is giving me  ParseException .  
  java.text.ParseException: unused date: "Sun July 15 2012 12:22:00 GMT + 0300 (FLE Daylight Time)"   
 I What's wrong? Pattern which I have tried:  
  EEEMMD DD yyyy HH: mm: SS zzz EEE MMM DD yyyy HH: mm: SS zZ (zzzz)   < / Div> 
 
 
 You are matching the pattern to  z  and  Z . If you ignore  (FLE daylight time) , because it has the same information as  GMT + 0300 , then the problem is that  SimpleDateFormat  Whether it wants either  GMT + 0300  or  GMT + 03: 00 . The previous version can be parsed like this:  
  string time = "Sun July 15 2012 12:22:00 GMT + 03: 00 (FLE Daylight Time)"; SimpleDateFormat SDF = New Simple Format ("EEE MMM DD YYYY HH: MM: SSZZ"); Date date = sdf Prs (time);  [edit]  
 In light of other posts about the strings of your time, it is probably possible because your time string contains conflicting information or mixed formats
