See DateFormat.parse(java.lang.String) or alternately
roll your own solution using String.split("/") (1.4+) or
String.indexOf("/") and Integer.parseInt(string).

And I suggest you try not to sound so pathetic and
needy, in future.

The SimpleDateFormat class can parse a string directly from a String into a
date.
(Assume strDateIn is a String formatted M/d/y)
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("M/d/y");
Date dateIn = df.parse(strDateIn);
/////// OR you can split your string into an array and go thataway ///
