I have an Html page, user enters a Date (dd-mm-yyyy) here. There's a servlet connected in the backend for processing this submitted information, it must have a method to compare this entered date with the dates obtained from the backend table which again are retrieved as strings (dd-mm-yyyy). Can anyone suggest how to carry out comparision between these date strings?
Eg:
String Entered Date: "28-02-2007"
String Backend Date: "20-01-2006"
I need to have some function which tells me that the entered date is 1 year 1 month and 08 days ahead of the backend date.
Right now I am using StringTokenizer (EnteredDate,"-") and StringTokenizer (BackendDate,"-") to split these two strings and get their day, month, year stored in seperate variables and then I carry out the comparision between them in if-conditions. But is there any other way to directly compare these dates?

You can change them into date objects, or 'GregorianCalen dar' objects, and use parseDate to set your format. Check the javadocs for the date class, it should help.

Sorry - parseDate to GET the date, I think its dateFormat to set the ... well ... format.

Can create a Date object using Date.valueOf(St ring date) which requires date in the format YYYY-MM-DD, then you can use the Date methods or set it as time to a GregorianCalend ar object and use the methods there.

Hi All,
How to perform case-insensitive comparision of strings?
Would there be some kind of an indicator, which when set to true, would
allow case-insenitive comparision of strings using if/select case, etc; after
performing the case-insenisitive compare, the indicator can be reset to allow
the conventional comparision of strings?

When I copy a vb.net project using date formats from one PC with a windows
date format f.e. dd/mm/yyyy to another PC having a format yy/mm/dd then I
get errors.
How can I change for a while in the project the date format in vb.code (
not in Windows) and how can I find out which date format the PC Windows is
using.
Thanks for any response
