How to get day,month,year from String date?

Question

I have a date on String, like this:

String date=\"25.07.2007\";

And I want to divide it to:

String day;
String month;
String yea         


        

Answer 1

date.split(".") will not work
Split methods takes regex as parameter. For regex "." means any character. Instead we have to pass "\\." as parameter.

String [] dateParts = date.split("\\.");
String day = dateParts[0];
String month = dateParts[1];
String year = dateParts[2];
