Converting Time in String form to a Long

Hello,

Does anyone now how to access the setTimeInMillis method of the Calendar
Interface.
I have a time in the format of HH:MM:SS: which is a string, but I want to
convert it to a long, so I can compare the times to figure out of two times
how far greater or lesser one is.

Thanks,

Signature

Use SimpleDateFormat and do getTime() on the Date object you get when
you parse.
