date format

jobonar

hi!

i'm looking for java code to make sure a date is in the right format! i'm looking for the date to be entered in DD/MM/YYYY format need code to make sure that the entered date is a valid date in that format.

Just wanna know does anyone no where i could find code to do this or does anyone have code to do this its really annoying me at this stage!
thanks,
J.

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.text.ParsePosition;
import java.util.Date;

public class DateFormatTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
df.setLenient(false);
ParsePosition pos = new ParsePosition(0);

String strDate = " 12/67/200394";

Date date = df.parse(strDate, pos);

// Check all possible things that signal a parsing error
if ((date == null) || (pos.getErrorIndex() != -1)) {
System.out.println("Error: " + pos.getIndex());
if (date == null) {
System.out.println("Date is null");
}
if (pos.getErrorIndex() != -1) {
System.out.println("Error index: " + pos.getErrorIndex());
}
}

}
}
i hope there is something there that helps
