Hello KL,
Look into using the java.text.SimpleDateFormat class and its parse() method:
import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
public class StringToDate {
public static void main(String args[]) {
String dateString = "30/01/2001";
try {
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
Date newDate = df.parse(dateString);
System.out.println("New Date: " + newDate);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
