splitting a date

JohnnyBravo

I am retrieving a date from a combo box and want to split the date i want to convert the each segment of the date into an integer and and perform maths functions on it here is what i have so far but im a wee bit stuck any help would be much appreciated thanks

int date;
String sql = "Select Accepts.TimeOfAccept FROM Accepts where Accepts.TimeOfAccept = 'jComboBox2';";
ResultSet result = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
date= result.getInt(1);


now obviously these lines are incompatible with the lines above due to the fact date being an integer
String day = Date.substring(0, 2);
String month = Date.substring(3, 5);
String year = Date.substring(6);
int asciiday = (int)day;
int asciimonth = (int)month;
int asciiyear = (int)year;
IsleapYear (year);

Why dont you store your date as a date object? It makes it much easier for manipulating dates. Once it is in a Date object, you can simply get the day,month and year from the date object without the hassle of substrings etc...
