Hello! the next code throws NumberFormatException:
Date d = new Date(77, 0, 1); System.out.println(d); System.out.println(DateField.stringToDate(DateField.dateToString(d))); this caused by dateToString that adds some trailing space to the string: + if (s.length() < DATE_LEN) { + StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(s); + while (sb.length() < DATE_LEN) + sb.insert(0, ' '); + s = sb.toString(); + } stringToDate calls Long.parseLong that throws the exception because of the spaces. this code was checked in: http://www.mail-archive.com/lucene-dev@jakarta.apache.org/msg01512.html I think the right code is: // Pad with leading zeros if (s.length() < DATE_LEN) { StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(s); while (sb.length() < DATE_LEN) // sb.insert(0, ' '); sb.insert(0, '0'); s = sb.toString(); } is it right? peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
