Hi All

Somehow I need to transfer a String from the format "Aug 29 2000" to
"2000/8/29". I use the following code segment to do this transform.

  dateStr = "Aug 29 2000";
  ParsePosition pos = new ParsePosition(0);
  SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM dd yyyy");
  Date dt = formatter.parse(dateStr, pos);
  formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/M/d");
  dateStr = formatter.format(dt);

However, the last statement [formatter.format(dt);] incurs
java.lang.NullPointerException.
So how could I avoid this excption? Should I use anothet approach to
transform
this String?

Thanks in advance
Lynch Wu
