Hello Everyone,
Well, people, I just need your help on Date classes.that is given a
string, i want to check if its a valid Date and if so want to extract
its date, month and year.
Though i ve referred Java API, i am not getting any idea as which
method to use and the logic behind it...Kindly Help Me.
Thank You.

Hi,
You want to look at the DateFormat class.. along with the Calendar class

        String myDateStr = "20/06/2006 10:22:00";
        SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss");
        try{
            Date myDate = df.parse(myDateStr);
            //Is a date so get the bits..
            Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
            c.setTime(myDate);
            int day = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
            int month = c.get(Calendar.MONTH);
            int year = c.get(Calendar.YEAR);
            int hour = c.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
            int min = c.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
            int sec = c.get(Calendar.SECOND);
            System.out.println("A");
        }catch(ParseException err){
            //Not a date
        }

Hope this helps,

Steve
