Formatting a string to dd/MM/yyyy

Question

I have the string Thu Nov 12 00:00:00 GMT 2015 which is EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss ZZZ yyyy.

I want to convert this string into a string with the format of dd/MM/yyyy, or in this case 12/11/2015.

That's nice. Good luck figuring it out, in whatever language you happen to be attempting this in. — Marc B, May 29 '15 at 20:11
There are lots of resources available via a Google search. Try searching for "java date format" or "java datetime format" and you should find a lot of examples and data format options. — Alec Deitloff, May 29 '15 at 20:12
@rghome, technically, OP has a string to string conversion issue. — Srini, May 29 '15 at 20:14

@rghome, no doubt this is a duplicate, how about this **[one](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11097256/how-to-convert-mon-jun-18-000000-ist-2012-to-18-06-2012)** — Srini, May 29 '15 at 20:19
@VivinPaliath To be honest, 99% of questions on SO is trivial to find with google. — Divers, May 29 '15 at 20:19

SimpleDateFormat sFrom = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss ZZZ yyyy");
SimpleDateFormat sTo = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
String result = sTo.format(sFrom.parse("Thu Nov 12 00:00:00 GMT 2015"));
