Hi all,

The result of Date.toString() in my applications differs on two
computers. We use win XP sp 2.
Below are the difference :

Wed May 09 00:00:00 GMT+07:00 2007

Wed May 09 00:00:00 ICT 2007

I go to Control Panel, but even in Regional Setting I can not find the
place where to set it.
Where is it ?

Thank you for your help,
xtanto

Hi,

I'm not sure whether you can set in Regional Setting, but as you see,
it will defer based on different computer settings. So, why don't you
use the utility provided by JAVA to format your date output, so you
can see the same result even on different computer.

Use class SimpleDateFormat is a good choice.

SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss
yyyy");
df.format("new Date()");
