title: Parse String date in (yyyy.MM.dd HH.mm.ss.S) format
body: <p>I want the Input string which is of pattern "yyyy.MM.dd HH.mm.ss.S" to be converted to Date.
  The Input string is 1988.07.29 12:12:12.123</p>
  
  <p>I have done it in the following way:</p>
  
  <pre><code>SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(pattern);
  Date date = dateFormat.parse(value);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get ParseException saying the entered date is unparseable.</p>
  
  <p>First Thing, does my pattern correspond to the Input string? If yes what am i doing wrong here?</p>
